The latest CPUs need a lot of amps on the +12v lines, the AMD64s need at least 18 amps barebones just to post. but 30amps will run them OK.Dave P writes:

Probably all down to the colour of that jinxed case - an unwholesome green!
My purple machine on the other hand, is the sweetest computer Ive ever had,
re-fitted only a few months earlier: Strong, silent and troublefree, like
the perfect wife, in a purple burka.
The case and the OS, I bet. Does it "fun" under Linux too? Also, do you consider the PSU to be part of the case? If so, is the PSU unclean?

The PSU is new, and it crashes (intermittently, but inexorably) down to the
metal both with Unmentionable 2000 and Unmentionable 98SE.
I now believe the only possible answer (apart from an offended case) is that
there are, or were, three or more separate problems, one or more of which
was introduced by any one of the new components.
It should never have got to this; I should have paid better attention, but
its always tempting to stop looking for more trouble when one is convinced
that the problem has been found. However, as many have discovered before,
and others have yet to discover: It is possible to be convinced - and still
be wrong! I am now bracing myself to begin, systematically, all over again,
and within a short while, QPC should be humming merrily away as my fastest
QL yet!
Wish me luck!
