When I first bought my system it would run well for  few days then go
ape and freeze up. Then it started happening more often. I suspected the
power supply was flaky and took it back to the guy that built it. He
found the power supply WAS flaky, replaced it and I've run it non-stop
for several years now. That is a thought to consider. Ric
