Kind of concerned again. After replacing the hard drive, the computer has blink-rebooted three times during intensive hard drive work. Two more attempts at the backups have failed, and even one blink-reboot just starting a movie to watch.

Beginning to think something else has gone wrong with the PC, and my money is a power surge from the power outages we had a few weeks ago. That's when it all went south.

Actually waiting for another blink-reboot to see if I get a BSOD. I can at least narrow it down from that.

It looks like removing the NVidia card fixed the reboots. I think. I hope. Something serious happened here. Took out the HDD, the USB Hub and now the video card.

I have another replacement video card that's never been used (same model and everything). Do I repair this system, or replace?
