Demon Silver Chrome ATX 480W max PSU
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ clocked normal (2.08 GHz)
1 GB RAM
Pioneer DVD +/-RW
Floppy disk drive
3 Western Digital IDE hard drives - 1 250GB and 2 160GB's
Not sure about the mb
ATI Radeon 9250
2 Ethernet cards (1 integrated into the mb, the other added in a PCI slot)
Creative Soundblaster Live! sound card
I also have 2 devices plugged into USB:
A printer (has a separate power adaptor)
An APC that uses the USB for feedback purposes
My computer issues didn't start until I added the third hard drive, so that's why I'm wondering. I noticed in another thread the recommendation to use SpeedFan, and while I have no idea what they mean, I used it anyway, so I can post the results in the hopes that maybe someone that CAN decipher it can help. If it's not my power supply, then I really don't know what to do. I'm confident that I'm virus/trojan/malware free.
