Paul, I'd chase the SCSI error you're now getting. It is consistent/reliable, unlike the problems I was fighting 25 years ago. FYI only: When I had my power issues in France 25 years ago I found nothing wrong when testing with a voltmeter. But I was getting desperate and rented a AC line monitor that was the size of an oscilloscope or bigger. Its job was to look for spurious anomalies and record them. As I recall, it detected significant spikes on the ground/neutral throughout the day as other equipment in the building turned on and off. It was a commercial building with 50+ people working in it, but of a low-end modular construction. As I recall, each room had a window A/C unit. I don't know EU power well enough to knowledgeably discuss how spikes could happen or how it could impact the computer's operation. Maybe there were other ways to fix the problem. I only know we fixed it by installing the ground rod. This picture is of a similar cockpit trainer, but I don't recall what kind of airplane the cockpit trainer was for: http://www.flightdecksolutions.com/assets/images/large_images/fds-a320-pro-m... I installed cockpit trainers for numerous commercial airplanes (Boeing/Mcdonnell Douglas/Airbus) during the decade I worked in that space. All the ones I installed were for airplanes with "glass cockpits" (see the picture at the link.) and we simulated the glass instruments, so we had numerous computers in the solution.
