Well, its crashed 2 more times today, after I took it apart, no convex topped caps anyplace, including the PSU, which is an "ATX P4" rated at 300 watts. Hugely more than that box needs in its wildest dreams. 75 watts would spin it all without breaking a sweat.
I thought perhaps I had found it when I attempted to remove what looked like a hair about 3" long, wedged between the motherboard and the PS-2 connectors, but which on closer examination, was actually a steel shaving about the size of a hair but flattened, I assume from the punch presses work on stamping out the chassis. But removing it made no diff, so when it crashed while I was editing a program to carve the outside of the taperlock bushing, I said screw it, called Directron in Texas where I had purchased it, but they were unable to identify it. I did find a supply that looked like it would fit, so I popped over to amazon & its on the way for 26 bucks. If that doesn't fix it, what is the next best mobo to put in this mini-atx P4 shoebox? This one was one of the D-525MW boards. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
