It's usually a quality power supply unit, that made it 6 years. However, what I find totally strange, at the same time. That applications die during my work.
Totally strange, like "clock" dies, and restarts. Eclipse dies, firefox dies..... I have the feeling that memory and power supply are making me headache. windows died yesterday during installation of .NET SP 4.5 fixes..... The machine drives me nuts.... However, I am getting myself a new machine.
