So if you swap a power supply then the message goes away for a certain time?
Which seems to indicate that they deteriorate, possibly owing to a high load? Are there devices connected to the rx2620 that draw power, like an external USB disk.
If you could hook up volt meters to the power supply and monitor them daily you might be able to figure out which power rail is failing and measure the current drawn. Compare that with the system and parts specifications.
It's not that there are very fast disk drives installed that run too hot and draw too much power?
If so check your fans, you might want to do that anyway. If they're dirty and run less efficient they might use more current. I'm guessing that too much current is drawn somewhere which leads to a voltage drop.
