Didn't work out. We also tried the jumper on the disks labelled SSP (Spread Spectrum Clocking), didn't work out out as well. What seemed to help at least a little bit is to use the 12V connector on the board, that is normally dedicated for graphic cards. The best test to reproduce the problem, according to a colleague also working on the machine, is a cat /dev/zero > zero.bin Do you still think it is a PSU or hardware problem? Do you need more details/logs? Thanks! Florian
