    Not easily unfortunately. Have a computer at my parents house I could take one out of to borrow but probs wont be there for a few weeks. Suppose I could wait as I've got my laptop to keep me going.

    Re: Pc randomly cutting out

    well I think I've fixed it. The was a problem with the pwm settings on the mobo not sure exactly what happened but the cpu fan was cutting out and I guess the cpu was overheating however none of the alarms/warning I set went off so I didnt know. Set the fan off pwm mode and just onto basic power and the problem has gone.

    presume you're running a PWM fan with a 4-pin connector? If you just use a 3 pin fan off the PWM header you loose the PWM functionality and the system can need to be told this is the case in BIOS depending on the MOBO.

    Yeah is a 4pin fan. Its quite strange as its been running for almost 2 years fine (well the fan/mobo combo other things have changed)

    Re: Pc randomly cutting out

    I had the same problem not long ago. I also have an OCZ StealthXtream (600w). I took everything out of the case and rebuilt naked on the desk and that fixed it. Possible case issue?

    Sorted this a month or so ago but just to finalize the thread, took everything out and rebuilt and it worked. The case switch mobo header felt a bit dodgy but since rebuilding have had no problems.
