Hi,

Most likely a hardware issue. Probably a failing component that is acting
flakey. Trouble is, it's usually hard to diagnose which one without swapping
in known-good pieces.

I installed an old 12 speed cdrom. And i disconnected it and now it
seems ok now !!!

Either its not to great or its using more power than my PSU can handle
? Either way seesm ok now.
