[QUOTE="imported_SuXoR, post: 131070, member: 7931"] How about d) You don't know what you are talking about. I do agree that you propose solutions to problems that could exist, but they are problems which in my case do not exist. Nothing is broken off. Power supplies in all machines are Enermax (at minimum 300 watts). It is arguable that Enermax is not the best power supply one can buy, but it is definitely a quality part as opposed to a no name piece of junk that comes with a cheap case. BIOS settings are appropriate for the applications. And no, the machines with exception to the Abit BE6II were not overclocked. You do, however, raise an interesting argument in regards to possible or probable cases of the failures. I have ruled out heat/cooling issues, due to the fact that I have a tendency to overengineer the cooling portion of my systems (moneyShot can confirm this). I also have ruled out electrical issues or "dirty" power because one of the machines was ran exclusively on a new APC UPS unit which cleans and filters the electricity that passes through it. Also I did no voltage tweaking to the CPU, RAM, or AGP. With that said, I offer some links to articles that may enlighten you to the problem at hand. I found these with a quick search on Google, although I first read about the problem in late 2000. At the time I assumed that the faulty parts would be recalled and never prolifeate the industry to the degree that they have.
