You may have a good point there.... In past years it was easy to put it off on Windows (9x), and yet within it's limitations, win9x is NOT nearly as instable as some would have you believe, when paired with modern apps, drivers, and an otherwise stable system. 'Tis not to suggest everyone step backwards though, what fun would that be? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

And a fair amount of the increased 'stability' in the NT derivatives are measures to prevent the user from screwing it up which, IMO, was the source of many Win9x problems. > when paired with modern

While it's certainly not the only cause, one of the reasons is peoples insistance on buying expensive components and then chucking in a cheapo PSU with an advertised 500w+ rating which just can't do the job. Have you also noticed how one particular brand of PSU seems to keep cropping up with this problem? SteveH | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
