Thanks for the good advice Mick. I don't have spare hardware on-tap so switching psu, memory or processor may prove to be tricky. It's one of those catch 22's where I don't want to spend on components that aren't faulty, however I need to spend on components to test if they're faulty. I've been given a few other test to perform before I start moving to hardware replacement. Regards, Carlos
