Ok, my mistake, so the message is printed on the screen.

I wonder what "overvoltage" means in the context of that message ?
That some voltage on the board is not at its programmed value ?
Not all voltages used on the motherboard are monitored, because
there aren't enough channels on the monitor chip.

Presumably the first error is still related to the crash
detection flag from the previous session.

Er, exactly what is the +12V spec(s) on the power-supply. ( Your
hard-disks can take up to 2amps peak from the +12V supply on spin-up.)

2.0 output 28 amps at +12v

Ultra PS ultraproducts.com

steady state current 8.5a

but i tried it with one Hard Drive only and delayed booting took place

4 out of 5 times i boot ok, the fifth is usually slow

Cold boot...power completely removed..fine.

Restart...that is where i see the slowdown, but NOT all the time


i can try another PS, this one
