Cheeky Kid, If it is occurring randomly, a power surge or glitch may be your problem. Since you have it loaded up it may be causing a power supply interrupt somewhere. Also, how old is the box? Maybe the internal clock battery is dying. Just my two cents and good luck!! arno

On that post, a couple of ideas pop up: 1) Power problem. Either the power supply is faulty and skipping, your getting a bad feed, or you have too many cards/drives and your power supply can't handle the load 2) Reset/power switch. Since your system is using ATX, try removing the reset switch cable from the motherboard for a day or two and see if that does anything (don't ask why, I've just seen it cause a problem or two in the past). Also, if you have an extra power switch cable, try changing that. I can't quite explain why it might fix this, but I've seen it happen with strange reset, power problems. Good luck, Rich
