It appears that my finger waving at the Abit motherboard was somewhat wrong. Well, possibly. Now we’ve got “spontaneous reboot syndrome”. I’m wondering if the powersupply is toast (again); it does smell faintly of old over hot component but I’m not 100% convinced it’s the cause of the problem. However, if I apply load to it, the system does appear to reboot. It is, however, frustrating. I don’t know if it’s the cause or not.
Hopefully I can find the recipt, but probably not. I shall try and take it back today though. Also frustratingly I wanted to put OS X on the machine, but have the wrong install disk.
