I say shoot the Hyena. Another way to test PSU is boot the machine to BIOS screen and leave it on. Recent Raidmax p/s I had would fail after running for 10 mns even in the bios.

You can get something second hand and better from Trade Me for well under $50. Perhaps this (www.trademe.co.nz) if you're really short of cash.

Also, update your motherboard and video drivers. Download the motherboard ones off the VIA website (Hyperion Pro or 4-in-1), and the graphics ones off the ATI site.
