Oh, I forgot to ask, If I move/delete the .PNF files, will I have to redo any

No, settings will remain. Move the pnfs somewhere temporary (as a safety)
and reboot; all those that are actually needed will be rebuilt.

The comment about the power supply perhaps being faulty sounds reasonable
to me too. What brand and how big is it? What is the machine's
compliment of devices? A good 350 watts should drive a typical machine w/
a regular video card, 2 HDs and 2 opticals. Higher end video needs more.
Note your issue started when tou switched to a Prescott CPU, which does
draw more juice (you had a Northwood before, as I recall). But it only
draws a little bit more. FWIW, I have seen "flakey" setups "cured" by a
new power supply. Not that I'm encouraging you throw $$ at the beast.
Antec, Enermax, and PC Power and Cooling are the top names in PS's. When
shopping pay attention to the 20-pin vs. 24-pin connector - most made in
the last 12 months support both; typically it's 24-pin and you can
snap-off the extra 4 if you don't need 'em.

If you are totally unsatisfied w/ Alexander SPK then ask for a refund,
they are good people and should accomidate.
