Why should he go there?  They'll more than likely tell him that it's a power
supply problem.  That's there stock answer to every problem people have
these days.  While the ocwb was an excellent source of ECS information at
one time, it's outlived it's usefulness.

There's much more than that there! I've got an ECS motherboard no problems
with an AMD XP 1600+. I visited there just to see what's going on. I do
agree there is much on power supplies but there is much more info there than
here...Paul

Hi Nick....

Have you tried the Monitor drivers.... ive seen errors like that due to the
video card and older type monitors....

Change then to the correct monitor drivers and that may possibly help....

Just a hunch.....

Trouble is there is also a lot that is NOT there, i.e. any posts that
disgaree with the ocworkbench ECS forum admin's view that all problems can
be solved with a new power supply, any thread that criticises the admin in
any way (although he likes to dish it out to others), most threads that
don't agree with the admin's prejudices and probably quite a lot else that
we will never get to know about.  I agree that there is a lot of interesting
stuff posted there but it all needs to be treated with caution.  If the
admin is so keen to remove any message that is at variance with his
prejuduces the content of the forum can not be trusted - you will never know
what got removed or why.  We are not talking about obscene, offensive or
aggressive material here - just any topic or thread that the admin takes a
dislike to.  Quite a few of these seem to be related to the debate about an
uprated psu solving every problem. The forum is full of threads saying that
a new psu solved everything - try to find a thread that disagrees with this
view.  It isn't that nobody disgrees, its just that their contributions get
removed and their posting rights get revoked.  Even posting criticism of
ocworkbench in a usenet newsgroup will lead to the admin there revoking your
posting rights in their forums.  This admin guy can't be trusted.
