First off, Power supply has already been replaced with this one:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-104-933&depa=0
I have an older PC that I have been running as a fileserver for a while now and recently it started random shutdowns on me. First instinct is, of course, Power Supply. So I picked up a new PSU and I am still having the shutdown issues. Anyone have any ideas? I have all the power saving features turned off becuase I use the computer as a pseudo HTPC.
Computer:
Abit KT7-A Motherboard
AMD Athlon 1000 CPU
512MB RAm (Corsair and Crucial Mixed PC133)
Fortron Source 300Watt PSU
Liteon DVD Drive
40GB Maxtor ATA133 HDD
120GB WDSE ATA100 8MB Cache HDD
Soud Blaster Live! Soud Card
Linksys LNE100TX NIC
ATI Radeon 7000 64MB Video
Maxtor external 160GB one touch backup drive - USB connection
Running Windows 2000 SP4 with all updates
Viruses and Spyware have been thoroughly searched for and cleaned.
CPU Temps tend to stay around the 33* mark. Cooling is provided by a Speeze Falconrock copper (80mm fan).
The computer is plugged into an APC Back-UPS 350 and only the PC and the external backup drive are plugged into the Battery. The backup reports on power outage in February, but does not have any other power issues listed.
I also have a wireless keyboard and mouse hooked up.
The shutdowns occur at random times and can sometimes take a few hours or a couple of days to occur. I hate random problems like this. Anyone have any ideas. I have been working on a couple of other issues on this computer (Related to network transfer and HD speed, not to power). I have everything else resolved now and I am getting great speed out of the computer, but this shutdown thing is still bothering me.
