So, it's been a while. Learnt some valuable lessons. It WAS the Power Supply, 3 power supplies in fact, my original one which was failing, burnt out circuit board as it turns out, the replacement, a new Zalman 1250w PSU, which exhibited exactly the same symptoms. However your advice seemed to be on the right track, so I borrowed a PSU. Problem gone!!! Sent the PSU back for replacement, installed the new one, same issue so I bought a different brand from another supplier. Problem GONE and hasn't returned. Sent the second one back. Seems the return were accepted by Zalman as both units had defective circuit boards. Very bad quality control. Lessons learmt.
1. Follow your gut instict, I thought it was the PSU which is why I replaced the first one.
2. Don't buy Zalman PSU's.
3. You will ALWAYS get great advice that you can use on this forum
Thanks everybody, especially softwaremaniac
Glad to hear your issue has been resolved. :)
