Interesting. I have had this Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650 watts ATX12V/EPS12V
SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC power supply
since end of 2010 when it was new. Also, why would having video
acceleration cause these rare lock ups when having none doesn't?

Hi,

I have seen posts on AVS by a resident HTPC expert suggesting a flakily
power supply may be the cause of the problems like you are seeing.

Might expose your problems to more experts with better advice.
