Hi There. We have a server that has just had Sensor view installed on it. We intermittently get the following Alarm notification. Today it has been going every few minutes from 3 to 6pm. The load on the server dropped after 6pm (all users accessing it went home)

Looks like unsteady power from a bad PSU. Whats the make and model? Unreliable PSUs are culprits for this.

Thanks for the fast response Lazareth1. We'll take a look at it. This is a remote server. We're not to up on how to check this particular thing out remotely (if possible ?) though we do have Remote DeskTop access to it.

Other wise we can check this out physically this Friday when we're on-site where the server is located.

Thanks

Np. When you get there just try another PSU and let us know how you get on.
