Backup/clone to TWO separate hard drive as soon as possible, then remove
each cloned hard drive from your system before you do anything else.  Don't
use the third hard drive in your system at all - this is your "last resort"
hard drive in case you have a terminal problem in your PC such as a bad
power supply.

Test one of your backup hard drives and see if it actually works as planned
? there?s nothing worse than an inoperative backup.

There?s a reasonable chance that it?s either your hard drive or your power
supply  if your computer has otherwise been stable.   Hard drives are very
cheap now (1000GB for just over $200).

Maybe a cleanout of dust in your PSU/fans might be a good start.

Subject: [amibroker] OT: computer meltdown?

I built this box five years ago, so I suppose problems would only be
natural at some point.

1) Spontaneous reboot last night -- out of the blue. Log says disk
error.

2) Board seems to be running hotter, but within range. CPU temp
normal.

3) Box seemed to run normally this morning (after the spontaneous
reboot), but again rebooted itself about 10 am.

4) No errors in log this time.

5) On the reboot, system could not autodetect primary channel at
first. I shut down and then after a few minutes it detected and
reboot was okay.

But obviously, something is not okay. Fans seem to be working. I'm
writing this on the box, so the box is not totally toast just yet.

Suggestions for troubleshooting? (Redundantly backed up, so no
problems if worst comes to worst -- just annoyances.)

Yuki
