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?
