Thanks for the quick response. I should point out that I've just moved and so I've had the problem in two different outlets, in two different buildings. But I'll look into it. Seems more likely a bad mobo.

I previously had this issue with a CoolerMaster eXtreme Power 600W: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=84&threadid=2123039 I replaced it, as suggested, with a Corsair 520hx roughly 10 days ago. System specs: - Gigabyte P35 DS4 - Intel Q6600 - 4GB Corsair RAM - 8800GT - 1 DVD...

Anyone?

I just started having a problem with sound playback on my computer. I'm using the Realtek onboard sound on the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 mobo. The audio is only playing on one channel (the right channel). I built the computer over six months ago and had no problems up to this point. - It's not...

Well, I think I'm going to go with the Earth Watts PS. I knew I shouldn't have bought a CM. Thanks for the responses.

If I swap it out for the same model, and it works fine, is it safe to assume that's the problem then? Or could the PSU just be bad or defective in some other way?

I based that statement on my understanding that I would see some sort of system instability if the computer wasn't being supplied enough power or the power supply was being stressed. The system has been solid once it's started up, running under quite a load without any problems. But really...

Yes, I checked the connections.

I've been using the power supply for a couple of weeks with zero problems, even under quite a heavy load. So I don't think it's an issue of the PSU being insufficient. It just seems to be have developed some sort of problem. I should mention that I moved the computer to another room right...

I just replaced my dead Antec TP II power supply with a CoolerMaster eXtreme Power 600W (it was on sale for $40 at CompUSA and I didn't want to wait for another PSU to be shipped to me) and after working fine for a few weeks, I'm now experiencing a problems. When I go to turn the computer on...

Thanks, both of you. I feel better. Still seems hot but I guess that's what I should expect with this chip.

Ok, so here's the deal. I just built this system: Gigabyte P35-DS4 Intel Q6600 B3 4 x 1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800MHz CM690 Case 4x120mm fans (1 intake, front; 3 exhaust, 2 top, 1 back) GeForce 8800GT Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler Originally I tried the stock cooler (I don't...

I recently built my new computer (specs below) with two SH-182D DVD burners I hadn't attempted to burn a CD (or any type of media) until today, when I tried to burn one through iTunes. It failed and it spit out a number of coasters. My first thought was to update the firmware on the drives...

333MHz is the correct clock speed for PC2-5400 memory. "Double data rate" memory transfers data twice per clock cycle, making it equivalent to 667MHz.
