What power supply are you using?

Opus will go down to about 8 volts until it shuts down...but it does shut down..not simply reboot.

Are you using an inverter and a standard power supply plugged into it?

maybe i actually drive my car, so my neighbors dont hear it anyway. DUH

as for the pci coming loose, i got it screwed in pretty tight, and the pc reboots perfectly, and if that were the case, i would think that would cause a permenant failure, as pci cards are not hot swapable. the wires, i highly doubt as they are all tight as well, and again it works perfect after teh reboot, so i think its the power.

i ordered a 6 farad cap for 73 bucks shipped from ebay, maybe that or a separate cap for the pc will solve the issue.

i use teh M2 psu. no inverters.
