When I put it in my main system I have the problem of either the video card not getting enough power which causes the computer not to boot or if I change the power connectors around I can get it to boot but then have problems with my harddrive(s) restarting either while be detected or while windows trys to boot....

If I put this psu in my 2 system I have problems with the computer starting. I hit the power button and the fans twitch and then nothing. I have to unplug the psu and back in again and then it starts up most of the time.

Another problem with system #2 is when I due turn it off, the keyboard and optical mouse stay on. Almost as if its in standby mode or smoething even tho I have all power managment settings disabled in the bios.

Here is the load for both boxs

System #1

Abit An7
XP 2400+ @ 2.2Ghz
1GB PC2700 ram
ATI 9800 Pro
80GB Seagate SATA
80GB Seagate ATA
Pioneer 16X DVD
Samsung 40x CDR

Sysrem #2
Soyo Dragon Plus Plan (KT333)
XP 2000+
256MB PC2700 ram
GeForce 3
15GB Mator ATA
SB Live Value
Linksys nic

Ideas? Is it going bad or could it just be a connector problem?

PSU is bad, that psu should have no problem with either box you listed, RMA it.

Its a little late to RMA since Iv had it for while and this problem just started about a month ago.

Throw it away then, before it does damage to your components. I agree that it sounds like the unit is bad, especially since it exhibits problems on both machines.
