Ok, thanks for reply's, it may be a power/PSU related issue then...We have had PSU warnings pop up for a while now(couple years) but it never really affected performance, so haven't bothered with searching for parts/replacing. Could bad PSU cause those kinds of symptoms?

Also, NEW SYMPTOM, now the usb port on front of console seems to be losing power as the mouse(plugged into front usb port on console) will "freeze" on screen, or apparently lose power from usb port(tried multiple mouses, same issue, so not the mouse.) We have to restart/reset from FOH rack, and then it works for about an hour before issue happens again. Really don't wanna do open heart surgery on the thing if I don't have to, cause we're literally a month out for replacing whole system...I just need to keep it alive for another month! Any more easy solution/fixes ideas/thoughts?

I'll try and get a reading on power going into console, but it should be good power between 110-130v. Also, I believe I have a fresh BIOS battery lying around so I'll try swapping that if its easily accessible as well. I also have spare fresh RAM sticks for it, think that would be worth swapping out?

Thanks for the help guys!
