Not a single one. It has stayed up for 18 days straight before. And it is at 200% CPU usage 90% of the time. I have had one blue screen. (In Win2k, that's a crash.) And it was because I ejected a CD. This was a problem that was repaired in SP1. After installing SP2, no problems what-so-ever. >Could you post a list of all the components in you system? 2 AMD Athlon 1.4Ghz CPU's Tyan Tiger MP S2460 4 256MB sticks of Corsair PC2100 DDR RAM A cheap sound card. nVidia Geforce3 3D 64MB DDR RAM AGP 4X w/ TV-Out Kingston Network Card 2x40GB WD HD's Panasonic DVD-ROM & TDK CD-RW IEEE 1394 "Firewire" Card >And any do's and dont's regarding putting this system together. Just one. Note that if you buy this system, and it does not work for you, things can become VERY frustrating. I have a friend of a friend, who heard about my system, and inquired about it. I gave him the ran down, just like I gave you. He went out and bought the same exact parts as I did, and built his own. *It has never worked.* He ordered the parts locally. Placed the order for the mobo, cpu's, heatsink, fans, power supply, and memory, all together. When he recieved them, he put it all together himself. It wouldn't boot. He has swapped, and swapped, and tested, and tried everything we know to do, and it has yet to POST. Bad thing is, when he went to have the place he bought the equipment at, test the system, they told him to "get lost". He had used the equipment in a fashion that it was not designed for. Therefore he voided the warranty on _EVERY_ single part he had bought. There is a good possiblity that he's out over $300. He might be able to sell the CPU's, and buy the 1.2MP CPU's. That is, if the mobo didn't ship broken. It is a risk. I just hope anyone who decides to buy this system knows that. My disclaimer: I cannot be held liable, because I got lucky and haven't had a problem. :) > >Regards >Jonas
