Computer Issues Related to Mains Voltage Drop

[Frankievalli]

Hi I am a regular system builder and Was asked in March 2008 to build a compact pc for a couple living on a narrow boat.

I built a compact desktop pc based on an Intel Processor E series

Whilst the PC was in my house I built it up and had no problems with stability or crashing or using any features or playing any games.

As soon as I gave the pc to the new owners it started to mess about,

I have now re built the machine 4 times and installed new Fans for cooling, New HDD due to damage to the orignal even to the point of replacing the mother board thinking there was a problem with the SATA controller. All this to no avail.

I did some leg work and checked the 240v supply to the boat an found it to only be 221v~ .

Could this cause problems with the internal voltages to the M/B and Drives ??

Are the Corsair PSU fully auto sensing with regards to input voltage ?

Will a new Corsair PSU be able to cope with an inadquate 221v~ supply.

PLEASE HELP ME I AM AT THE END OF MY AGHH!!!!!

Kind Regards to any one able to help.......

The 240Volt supply, is it proper mains or from a battery through an inverter or from a generator ?

The supply is mains supplied from a pontoon at a Yhat club but the cable run to the mooring is in excess of 30mtrs on only 2.5mm armoured cable.

Thanks for all comments / Replys going to try a decient PSU then if still getting probs will try the UPS route (DIDNT THINK OF UPS NICE ONE)
