[QUOTE="tomtom21000, post: 406515, member: 10287"] Thank you for your help. Just to inform you about the solution: It was the cables. 3 weeks after my repair everything still works again as it should, so I think the problem is solved! Problem 1 was a sata cable which was too loosely connected. I had another one with an metal clip that gives a tighter hold for the connection Problem 2 was the other sata cable for the HD. Problem there was that the sata connetion of the motherboard was exactly under the cable plug of the power supply so I cut off the upper half of the sata connector and bent the loose wires which caused problems (did not remember this :) Now I let the connector intact but bent the whole connector to go to the side of the power supply plug. Doesn't look very trustfully either, but seems to work. BTW, flokel: A completely silent HTPC is really a great thing. It has a very high WAF, which is important ;) There is a 92 mm emergency fan that starts when the temperature exceeds a defined value. In rare cases it starts but in general the heat conduction of the case is really good. tomtom [/QUOTE]
