Hi guys,

I think my PSU maybe packing in after 2 years or so (It's a crappy "550w" q-tech one).

Here are some things I've noticed:

Lately my pc has been rebooting on it's own on occasion which is starting to get on my **** a little now. I'm trying to confirm this before buying another one.

The other day I added another HDD and with that drive in when windows was due to display the login screen, it didn't the screen just stayed black, upon removing that drive it gave me the login screen.

CNC Generals kept crashing on me, the system sometimes reboots under a lot of pressure, games, etc.

I've noticed the +12 and -12v rails are jumping around loads, sometimes 11.86 other times 11.7x.

Prime95 is also failing after a few minutes of running which it never used to do.

Any help/info would be greatly appreciated (sorry for the short and non-informative post, in a rush!)

Ben
