Well I had a ####load of stability problems when I first got my A1. Far in excess of staticman's problems. Initially I thought that I had received a buggy board. My dealer said check out the PSU and so I replaced my PSU with my brother's from his PC still had the same problem because I didn't know how to properly jump start the A1. Called up my dealer that night told me that it is the PSU and that we had probably done something wrong. Next morning I went and got another PSU. A1 booted up fine but I was copping constant freezes, crashes and partition being damaged. Unfortunately I did not listen to my dealer who told me to go and get an Antec PSU. I ended up with a bogey Codgen. During the period my dealer even offered to send down another A1 board (he is over 3000kms away!) to test it. I refused like an idiot because the whole time he had been pointing (along as others such as _messiah_) me at the PSU.
This lasted for a period of two months. I then decided to put in my brother's PSU again. This time it worked properly, no crashes etc. I kept the PC PSU for one week and around a month ago I purchased the Antec PSU (with gold platted pins :-D) as suggested by my dealer. Guess what, he was right from day one ;-) . The customer is not always right.
Staticman's situation would be like me turning around now and either obliging my dealer or Eyetech to reimburse me for the two PSU purchases when in fact the problem was down to our (including brother) fat headedness and unwillingness to heed the PSU solution from the start.
The moral of the story: %99 of the time the customer is wrong ;-)
