Just installed new 650W PSU ( more than enough power for my needs) after
failure of the previous unit. The only problem is that the computer now
takes about 4 minutes to boot to screen compared to about 90 seconds
before.
Anybody got any thoughts on why this should be ?

Probably a defective power supply unit. These are nowadays so cheaply
made we must expect them to fail regularly. (In January I had a brand-
new one fail within 3 weeks. Fortunately it takes less than 5 minutes
to instal and test a new one functionally, faster than with a voltage
meter.)

Don,
Paid for a pretty decent PSU replacement from a reliable manufacturer so with all other power cables working OK I ruled out any possible failure so time ago
.
