Hello...first post, I'm really impressed with this board. Anyway...

My system has been running very slowly lately; hanging, crashing frequently, etc. despite my 1.3 gigs of ram and otherwise high speed processor. So I know my ram or processor isn't the problem. I'm wondering, though, if my power supply may be causing some of these problems, since I only have a 350 watt unit and have lots of crap hooked up to it (three hard drives, two optical drives, three ram sticks, a small cooling fan, etc.) I've also wondered if maybe my fan isn't powerful enough, not providing enough circulation throughout my tower. (the processor temp is usually around 35-39 degrees F) How important are these two things, and do you guys think they could cause problems like these? Thanks in advance! It's a great board, btw.
