The power supply the OP mentioned was adequate for everything mentioned, and the only scenario that might draw more would be burning a DVD while doing all those other tasks at the same time as stressing the GPU.
The fact that the OP's problem persists suggests that the power supply was not an issue.
Thanks for confirming my thinking.
I would suggest the OP put on a UPS capable of running the machine for 10 minutes at least. Also, be careful about running the Voltcraft device when plugged into a UPS. Lots of these cheap units are not designed to handle the near square wave produced by the typical UPS.
I happen to have a spare 3kw UPS - not sure if it'll last 10mins, but it might. What would such a test this show, John?
I'd also start digitally measuring temperature of surface mounted components on the mobo. (Digitally as with a finger). The fact that a fan helps but a PSU does not suggests something is poorly heat sinked.
Also what I've been thinking - it's just that I'm now left with what was heatsinked/mounted by Gigabyte. I'll check the CPU tomorrow, but as it hasn't been showing more than 65C, I doubt if there's a problem there. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
