Before you condemn your particular PSU:
Something to consider is the AC Voltage being delivered to your system. Before you blame alot of problems on your particular PSU look at the AC Voltage coming in. I really feel for people that live near Power plants, Sub-stations or at the end of the line.
I hear of people all the time that have Electronics go bad and they don't know why and alot of it had to do with the AC voltage not being adequate enough and the equipment just plainly over worked itself.
Take a DMM and measure the AC Voltage that is being supplied, you will be surprised at what you find.
If you have less than 110v AC at your oultet, you are going to have problems and you need a good UPS. I have 118-120v at all of my outlets and I don't have any equipment failures. I still have a UPS just to condition the AC line. I am not a Electrician or anything, I just know enough to be "dangerous".
So any of you that has more knowledge than me could expand more on the subject.
