Antec, Enermax and other good brand names, rate their power supplys differently then the el'cheapo (chinese) ones..... trust me... I see it every day.
If you paid $30 for your power supply you paid too little.
I'd spend no less then $50 on it.

Maybe I'll buy a new box/power supply for chits and giggles.
I'm betting its RAM.
Thanks guys, keep it coming, I need ammunition to deal with these idiots.

Thanks for all the posts guys.
I have bought a new 400W power supply for safety. They are also swapping the old 512 DDR RAM for a new stick of 512.
Hopefully I will be fully operational tonight!
