Re: Help from any computer gurus out there
If your machine survived mprime on all cores (simultaneously) then it is unlikely to have a PSU problem. Of course the wattage says nothing without vendor/brand/model, it's a fantasy number.
At this point I would try some other OS than a 64 bit vista/win7. You can't rule out somebody fatfingered the 64 bit drivers for the particular usage pattern here.
But then I would have done that in the first place
Might also be worth to hammer your disk(s) to see whether you maybe have a bad southbridge. I had a few Asus boards that would hang on heavy disk I/O due to one.
