I spent Sunday rebuilding my PC.
Saturday, it stated to misbehave, with the misbehavior taking the form of first spontaneously rebooting, making the ominous "cllick click click" noises that indicate a drive is having severe heartburn, and finally deciding it wasn't going to power on when I hit the front panel switch. I was
not enthusiastic about the prospect of going to the local clone shop Monday for Yet Another Power Supply.
Sunday I said "Screw it!", disconnected everything, pulled it out from under the desk, and pulled out CPU, memory, five hard drives, CD ROM, and floppy, and rebuilt from scratch, making sure everything was properly seated and trying to simplify configuration and connections.
Put it back together, stick it back under the desk, plug in various cables for video, keyboard, mouse, laptop, sound, network and power, cross fingers, and hit the power switch.
It booted, and seems stable and content, with no drive issues I can detect.
I don't know what was wrong in the first place, and I'm not sure what I did that fixed it.
I suspect I just terrorized it into submission.
