Just when you're all thinking "Come on, this is getting silly..."
It does seem to be the first suspect, the UPS.
This morning I awoke and it was down, and I did my usual, unplugged it and
plugged it back in... whirrrrrrrr... silence. Tried again, unplugging
it a little longer... whirrrrrr... silence. Hmm. One more try... same.
Unplugged it from the UPS and plugged into the actual mains, and boing, up
she came.
So we're running on straight mains at the moment. Time to start looking at
UPS pricing. I'll still get that spare processor anyhow as it's dirt cheap
and the fan is definately not happy, but I don't think that's what's causing
the outages currently.
Hopefully, now that the UPS is out of the circuit, we may see some more reliable
service for a bit. ;o)
Cheers,
Kim.

Kimmers, do you need a new CPU? is that what you're talking
about when you say "spare processor"? I may have a spare one
that I could send you. Would an Athlon XP running at around 2
gigs (it's a 2600+ or a 2800+, I forget which) do the job?

It's an older box running a Pentium III.
It's cool. I've still got a spare CPU coming for only $15, so that's no problem.
I actually only need a new fan, but I doubt I'll come across a PIII fan for
less than that so I might as well grab both.
Cheers,
Kim.
