I have a TruePower 430W power supply, which came with my case. It has worked fine, up until recently. Suddenly, the computer is spontaniously turning off and restarting. Whether my CPU is at full load or entirely idle, it will randomly happen. If it shuts off, I usually have to turn off the switch on the back of the PSU, then flick it back on, before I can turn the computer back on.
It has happened in Windows XP, Windows XP install (thought it was a software glitch earlier), in BIOS, and at any time while booting the computer (even after it's been off for hours). This is certainly not a heat problem.
I just wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions. I'm pretty sure that the psu is responsible.
