I would suspect a grounding problem. Something may be wrong with the PSU,
the PSU connection to the motherboard, or the motherboard itself. It sounds
like a poorly designed case if the CPU has that little clearance with the
PSU.

Solved the problem. The PSU was slightly wider than the old PSU due
to the additional fan and the new PSU was actually touching the
heatsink on the CPU. Once I changed the fan and heat sink and put a
bit of plastic between it and the PSU the whole thing is working OK.
Any ideas why the PSU touching the CPU heatsink would do this? Its a
full height desk top case.

Whilst on PSU's I purchased a new Thermaltake 430 watt PSU as I was
worried
my old one was getting a bit iffy. The old PSU is a no names 350
unit. After replacing the PSU the system will not boot up properly
sometimes even
the AGP card will only boot up to 120 out of the total 128 MB.
Sometimes it
will boot up a bit further into the MB but then stops. The new
PSU is a switched one opposed to the old one. The MB is an ATX
type with 1G P111 on
board. Any suggestions as to what could be wrong. I double
checked all the
connection and yes the old PSU does have the extra 4 connection
pin for a P4
but it is not used.
