Hello,
As usual in times of need I like to turn to hexus's vast pool of knowledge and it hasn't let me down since! But here is an interesting one for!
I'm running a computer (A8N-Sli Deluxe, 3400+ Processor, 2gb memory, geForce 6800 Ultra, WD harddrives (raptors and caviars) 3 in total, Antec NeoPower PSU). The system I use for gaming in my spare time on its own boot up and then on a seperate boot up for all my audio recording work. I've just moved my setup from home where it ran with no relevant problems to another house to work on really important project, and all of a sudden its the most unstable system in the world for running playback and it never has been.
The house is pretty big and has three computers for each of the people that live here, and none of them are stable despite the computer knowledge of the residents. Most of the issues popped up since they moved in... My theory is that the house being the old town house style that it is has some really bad wiring or power issues, and I'm guessing as soon as I get my system back home it will be running fine again.
I've heard people talking about dirty power in the past but I've never encountered it. Does anyone have any other ideas on what this is? Or how to solve it? I've looked at some Belkin UPS systems and they sound like they could do the job but I could easily be way off the mark on this one and could do with some expert advice.
Cheers,
Leonard
