Interesting thought! I'm using the graphics capabilities built into the
RS480M2 mother board -- no separate card. But, with that many disks in
the system, maybe the 400W isn't enoug.

Sounds good. It's not a completely fair comparison, though -- stability
might improve if one of the components I disconnect is faulty and
responsible for the problem. I'll give it a try, though.
