my friend has a 300w psu and i suspect that his stability issues(random restarts, mostly when he tries to dl something and the dl window pops up it just restarts, but i can send him installing stuff over msn and it works fine..) if i combined the 2 psus, would that increase the voltages in the lines? his 5v line reports 0.38v voltage which i think is Wrong.. but still, would it be like a 550w psu if i combine the two?

what are you looking at to measure your voltages? what i would recommend you doing..run the motherboard alone off the 300 watt..and a few fans, then the harddrives/cdroms and such off the 250 watter...that would get some better rails...and download speedfan..its better than mbm5
