The system crashes without any gurus or messages. Then the drive light goes on, and the power light goes off, but the fan is running. I found it's happy if you wiggle the cable to the correct position. So, what I'm saying is you may have a faulty cable on your system which is causing the whole thing to go down. Hope this gives you some help. Alan -- = CAT-TALK Conferencing Network, Prototype Computer Conferencing System = - 1-800-825-3069, 300/1200/2400/9600 baud, 8/N/1.
