So after getting a new Antec SOLO case for my P4 rig, sometimes, it's been booting all weird. When i press the power button sometimes, the lights, fans, and hard drives power up for .5 seconds and then turn off. I can also hear a crackling sound from the Power Supply sometimes.

I can make it boot again but I usually have to unplug my power supply and then wait about 5 minutes before I can boot. And then it boots normally. and also, sometimes my computer will just turn off and i can't boot again but this only happens if something hits my computer with sufficient force. Anybody else have these problems?

I'm hoping it isn't a power problem but I'm running a tri-blade delta, 2x 92mm antecs, 1 120mm antec tri cool, and then 1 more antec V-Cool and all the fans are powered using an vantec nexus fan controller. this shouldn't be too much for a OCZ Powerstream 520....
 
i actually had the same problem a few weeks ago, and was left with no choice but to buy a new PSU and mobo (the mobo got fried when the psu died)
