[QUOTE="NorthernJohn, post: 144818, member: 18239"] After a couple of days of looking ok, things have gotten bad again. [USER=12592]elconejito[/USER]. Thanks for the input. I'm assured the PSU is pretty good by the original supplier of the system. But it is 18months old now. Would it be starting to show signs of age? I don't have a 24/7 system but it's not far off so has got quite a few hours on the clock. I've run a memtest tonight. Got through 2 cycles without reporting an error so I guess the RAM is ok. The 7600GS is heat sink cooled. A deliberate move to keep noise levels down. Oh the irony!! My brother in law has an unfinished (and likely to remain so) htpc project in his garage. That's got a nice full ATX silverstone case. Might make him an offer. It'll certainly have much more airflow than mine. It's a bit tight in there now. On a positive tangent, the changing channel on Nova-T is much much quicker and less liable to lock ups than the Freecom dongle I was using. So not all is bad :) [/QUOTE]
