    I have just such an SE-30 on my desktop (well, it kept doing that
    off and on until earlier this week) and I noticed that wiggling a
    certain cable inside the Mac seems to make the problem go away -
    though if it stays away is an open question still.
    
    So, the recommended procedure (according to my experience) is to open
    up your SE-30 and wiggle the cables (in my case it seems that the
    power cable to the hard disk needed to be bent away from the cage of
    the power-supply ....
    
    Good Luck, Mr. "Beep Beep Beavers" or "Einstuerzende Neubauten" or
    whoever you are ... (if you think that I think that I'd prefer being
    provided a first or even fictitious name, to address myself to, you
    are right!  btw, you even misspelled "Einstuerzende Neubauten" in
    your FROM-header
					1/2 :-)
