| 792640 | 2009-07-20 01:19:00 | Hmmm... Strange PSU of unknown name and 6 years old.... I think you've probably found the problem - open that PSU up and I will be surprised if you don't find any dodgy capacitors on there Definitely. A 400w even from a good manufacturer is a little underpowered for that lot. |

| 792642 | 2009-07-20 09:05:00 | I never heard of Nexus but like Wratterus said, even a good 400 watt PSU would probably be a bit underpowered for your setup. But even Antec used to use (and might still do on their cheaper line eg: Basiq) those horrifically bad Fuhjyyu capacitors... If your PSU really is as good as you say it is, you should check the capacitors and replace as nessecary and keep it anyway. Decently designed and built PSUs are not something to just throw away |

| 792643 | 2009-07-20 09:31:00 | Yesterday I had a bit of a clear out of unused programs, cleaned the system with ccleaner & winoptimizer, defragged it & rebooted it. It went into sleep mode overnight & when I woke it up a couple of hours ago, it was all good. I'll see what happens this week & maybe lash out at the weekend |
