Thanks for the reply. I'm sure they bought what they could afford. What do you base the idea that it is a power supply issue on?

A friend bought a iBuyPower NE611FX FX-4000 Series FX-4300 which seems to have a MSI 760GMA-P34 (FX) motherboard but they don't have any other details and the PC recently stopped working. It appears to be flashing an error code on the power LED. I don't have access to the hardware and can't...

I had a clearout and got rid of all my small drives a few months ago so will have to make some space and repartition an internal drive or go buy a small drive to use. I do have a bootable portable win10usb tucked away somewhere so might try that first if my motherboard will boot off a USB port...

Thanks for the ideas Ralston18 but I already tried a self powered USB hub but forgot to mention it, it didn't help. The enclosure has its own fan and monitors temperature and I run it with the door open to allow better airflow so it's not overheating. The entire RAID is HD5 in Windows but I've...

Thanks for the replies guys, that gives me something to work on at least :) The ASUS H110M-A Motherboard looks good but a little light on expansion sockets with just one PCI-E x16. Will come back again in January for an update.

The monitors around 5 or 6 yrs old and no issues with the previous VGA card. The cards 2nd hand and worked perfectly on the sellers PC (I saw it in use) which makes me think its either my monitor, or the conversion from DVI to VGA. There are a few posts floating around for an EDID fix that was...

Thanks for the reply oobymach but I already have the drivers and have done a clean install of them.
