- -> My 386SX/20 system has been crashing in unrepeatable ways recently
- -> and the pattern suggests something is overheating. Here's a detailed
- It may be a power supply problem. You say the problem occurs most when
- reading or writing to the HD, well thats when the added draw on the PS
- would cause the voltage to drop to critical conditions. Thus causing the
- malfunctions. My first thought is reduce any un-necessary loads, a
- second HD for example to see if it makes a difference. Try disconnecting
- the HD, if the only one, and run programs from floppies and see if the
- problem re-occurs.
