[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3291151, member: 29706"] Had a guy bring me a computer once because he was having issues. He said it would power on flash bios and maybe get into the os and crash. Had it at my place and it worked fine. I goofed around with it for about an hour, ran updates, etc. Called him up and said it was working fine never found an issue. He went home and same problem. Told him to try a different outlet on a different circuit. Something about the outlet he was using was causing an issue. Never took a meter over there but I would guess that it was either a connection wired wrong or a line that was not getting the right voltage so the computer would run but not be stable. And I agree it is amazing what will pass as being ok wiring wise for some people. I have seen connections made that would probably have an inspection causing the building to be condemned. I always try and make sure things are routed nicely and work well whatever I am doing. When I first put something in and have to rush I always make it a point to go back through and make it right as soon as I can no matter if it is high voltage or low voltage. [/QUOTE]
