Crazy PSU/Motherboard incompatibility

I've read that there was an issue with Antec / A8N SLI Deluxe MoBo combinations that cause sponteneous power downs with the system.

I just built a new system tonight that used the A8N board with a Cooler Master 600 Watt PSU, and I'm getting the same issue described in the Antec/MoBo problems. My system will run for 30seconds-1minute, and then just shut off completely. Anyone else heard of this? Popping in a new PSU now to test, but I don't think the Wattage is enough to run everything... Just thought I'd pop in and ask.

Thanks for anyone who may know.
 
Thanks for rubbing it in, PAL!

Seriously though, seems like Cooler Master has the same issue as the Antec PSUs when coupled with an A8N SLI Deluxe motherboard. I swapped the PSU out for an Ultra-something-or-other and the system is fine. Hopefully this gets around a bit, but most likely people flashed their A8N bioses and it's no longer a problem on that either. Either way, beware ye all, and so on and so forth.
