Two little suggerstions:

- Swap the PSU for a brand new one (they come to be faulty);

- If you have enough skills, change the caps in the Toaster board. Change ALL electrolitics caps, they become faulty after some little time (~10 years):-D....

Do you use a Flyer? Check if the SCSI disks are working properly (format all disks, they are used for temporally store, anyway).

Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

Do you have a leaked battery on the system? Or even caps leak anywhere?

Remember what I said: Search for leaking caps over the Toaster and MB itself.

Get a multimeter in the PSU to see what happens when you starts the Toaster.

Looks very like you have bad caps somewhere who causes "ripple" in the force lines.

 Or even some SIMM going bad.

 It's not a bad idea plug a oscilloscope in the power line to see if there are any ripple in those lines
