Try running your system in a mimimal configuration. 2 CPU's with one stick of RAM, video card and one hard drive. If this works, you may be looking at a power problem (may need more watts) or one of the components that is not in the system is causing the problem.

I would say your power-supply needs a vacation... :wink:
Try another one and see how it works out.

Also, I've read somewhere that some BP6's suffer from leaking capacitors... :( You could check that.

A bad power supply is a good assumption; leaking capacitors is another good one.

Overall, I'd have to say "you're on the ball!" Tachyon. 8)

I was just making a joke about your 1MHz CPU typo!
