That's what we're leaning toward as well. We're planning on doing a BIOS upgrade (betadrive is running v2.00 and alphadrive is v1.00), then a memtest86+ run, then check firmware on the SATA controllers. If none of the above helps, we're thinking of swapping the CPUs between the two systems to see if the problems stay with the box or follow the CPU. Thanks for the reply. --=20 Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
