==== Notes ====

Tonight installed 500 Gb Samsung SSD, and Windows 7 Professional onto it. The Windows 7 Professional key worked, but not directly online - had to use automated telephone method, which moved me to a smartphone version, which worked correctly the first time.

I installed Windows 7 Professional just so I could use more than 16 Gb of RAM, to use Hauptwerk. Theoretically my original Windows 7 Home Premium should be still valid, and is still installed on the Samsung 250 Gb SSD drive.

**7/3/2015** This PC occasionally resets for no known reason. At one point, suspecting the UPS, maybe the relay loses contact for a split second. Now suspecting heat/temperature sensing. I vacuum thoroughly and it seems to not reset as often. Also, in 90 degree day (today), reset several times. Going to try disconnecting the reset system panel button to make sure there isn't a hardware issue. Downloaded the {{:dan:pc:hardware:7816v1.0.pdf|MSi Motherboard manual}}. Another thought, might be either memory-related, or multiple USB device load related.

**7/6/2015** Tried disconnecting reset system panel wiring, but it reset again. So bypassed the UPS to see if it was causing the reset.

**7/9/2015** Reset, even after bypassing the UPS. Next step is to change the power supply.

**7/11/2015** Disconnected the original SSD to reduce power consumption. Hasn't reset to date (7/12/2015)

**5/6/2016** I can't clearly remember, but I think I changed out the power supply and the intermittant reset stopped. The SSD was moved to Chris' laptop.
