I could unplug one or 2 drives & see ifthat makes a difference?

Seems to me the next step is to change out the power source -- osund

thanks again,

for what it's worth, I am running  little stress test, simultaneousluy
playing a dvd in the dvd-drive, and ocmpiling a kernel.  I'm getting
slight shifts on the voltages:

+12v --> +13.31;
+5V -->   +4.46

cpu temp up to 70. (thisi s an athlon k7 2400+).

So I think (a) anything involving the DVD is clearly a bit dodgy; and
(b) I probably need a new power supply.
