Hello: Mark provided the solution to this problem. Although I have two voltmeters, I was a bit scared of using them while the machine was on. I got a biology degree, not one in EE. It was easy to remove cards, so I did that first. I had recently bought a card to set up MythTV, a 2 tuner PCI card. When the board was removed, the system has booted a dozen times without a problem, and the computer has stayed up many hours without crashing. Looks like now I'll need a different computer to set up MythTV. Since the card has encoders, I will be able to get a used one at the swap fest and add in a decent size hard drive. If anyone here knows how slow a box I can get away with or how much RAM a media center requires, feel free to discuss. Thanks again Mark, doug
