PSU Problems

[benl]

I having major problems with PSU's Blowing.

So far i have had 3 350W PSU's go! I have replaced the motherboard but the third one went after about 45 mins of use.

The odd thing is that i have an old 150w PSU, which is in the PC and running it fine now for a whole weekend??

It seems when i put a more powerful supply in they just blow??

Any ideas??

maybe they're just getting bad power from your outlet? you have a UPS in that janx? you can get a really cheap one at compusa for like $30 or something, it was actually on sale locally at my store for $25, but it's $30 on their site.

Buy a good PSU.

Antec, Sparkle, or Enermax would be one of my choices.
