Dear Ed - JohninKansas just gave you a $200.00 U.S. lesson in diagnostics...at various times I've experienced about 1/3 of them over the last ten years.

The erratic power spikes was a major, (early too cheap youth) two year, bug-ga-bo that was resolved with a premium surg protector....and a new powerline from the utility.

Follow JohninKansas steps - you will learn a lot and save even more.

Have a FUN and LEARNING FILLED WEEKEND....its worth educating yourself.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
