Twice now over about 4/5 years, my Iyonix has suddenly started
misbehaving. In both cases it was a failing PSU. The second time I
also took the opportunity to get the "southbridge" DMA problem sorted
at Castle (plus go to 5.12 and a new video card). It is now far more
stable than it has ever been (though it wasn't too bad before).
I suggest you investigate whether it is the PSU.

I use Netsurf for most browsing. I don't have too many problems, but
then I don't want to get nauseated by Flash Sh*t. Firefox overcomes
any other problems I might have.

Why? Is it speed or software you are having problems with?
