X-QPAK power supply

[imported_thefonz]

My problem is that my computer wont boot,
Well not exactly it will always boot for but for random amounts of time before it will crash.
I'll give you an example, I will turn it on, it will run for half a second and die, try again same thing, try again it will run untli just after the bios and will crash, reboot, loads windows , runs fine for 30 min, game it abit, crash.

Its very random, a couple times Ive just knocked the side of my case lightly and it will crash, There is no BSOD or error just shuts down.
I''m thinking it is the power supply

Any help or suggestions would be apreciated or similar experiences would help
aslo the pwr supply is a 20 pin connector with a adapter to 24 pin for my motherboard

check out hardforum.com. Click the SFF section. read up. we've been talking about it for the past week. overall, the general consesus is switch PSUS. either the enermax 400 liberty or the antec NEOHE should do. 400wpsu should be plenty.
