I had an underpowered PSU that was giving me restarts after a minute or so, even in the BIOS. Go an new Antec and she is running great! I am blown away with these dual core chips...Mine is just a lowly e2140 but I'll be damned if I cant throw 25 + tracks of ableton instruments, all with eqs and reverbs on each track, and not even break 40% cpu! Un fucking real!
