 Which version of Spectre? the GCR test come with version 2.3 ( the one before
2.6) has problem with single drive setup. And some system is very sensitive to
the E_M interference generated by the monitor. My old 1040 ST was one of them,
try to move the monitor away from the cable and drive then try again. Also put
a sheild on the drive cable help.
