a couple of cpu, ram, psu, and other questions^_^

i just got my kt7a and put in my duron 600, i re-locked the multiplyer by erasing everything on the L1's so i know i wouldnt have any problems. at first it worked great at defaults, so i re-unlocked OCed to 1000 and was stable but high temps, then i went back to defaults then for a short period of time the computer would get power but wouldnt fully boot up while the cpu is running at all defaults. i tried switching plugs which didnt work, then i switched plugs again and it worked. im not sure but could this be the PSU dying? i had a similiar thing happen and the PSU died before on my old mobo, but how likely is it this will happen again? or could it just be my plugs having randomly bad power?it is a random 300W PSU, and the one before was a similiar but not exactly the same random 300W PSU. also, what PSU for the price is the best and would work good with my system? another thing is ram, i first had a kk266 and had tons of ram problems (3 out of 4 sticks that all worked wouldnt run on that board), now im on this board with my mushkin rev.2, would it be worth it for me to get 256mb of crucial cas2 pc133 and have 384 total which would cost me about $60, or should i get the crucial and take out the mushkin, or should i buy another 128 stick of rev 2 for $60 and run 256mb of rev. 2? the last thing is cpu and FSB, i want to know what should the voltage settings be for me to run 133fsb on the duron which a lot of ppl have seem to succesfully done, sorry this post is so long, but youve guys never have failed to answer my questions before ^_^ thx

I doubt it is the CPU. I have the same experience with my D-700 OC to 1Ghz. It randomly boot and sometimes not boot at all until I do about two or three times of push in the Pwr Btn. it only does this though when it's OC. On default settings, it always boots. As for the Ram, with price so low you can just get a Crucuial Cas2 256MB. Just in case the 128Mb stick gives out then you still have 256 left. As for the CPU, with TB's priced so low you'll probably be better off with a 1.0 or 1.1 Ghz at a price below $100.00 than try OC.

does the crucial perform better than mushkin?
