Hardware Issues?

[Taavi Burns]

It may also be an issue of an underpowered/dying power supply.  A
friend of mine installed his own video card into one of the commercial
PrettyBoxes, and it sucked the PS dry.  The only way to make the box
stable was to get a more powerful PS (which stuck out the back,
because the one that came with the box was undersized as well as
underpowered).  Also, if the power supply is cheap, it may make the
computer more sensitive to dirty power.  If you can, try running the
computer off of a UPS and see if that improves things.
