Ok, I have recently been having problems with my computer lately. It will freeze on shutdown at the Shutting down windows screen and on boot up I have had a few issues. The 1st is that every once in a while on the windows startup after the little bar goes across it will freeze up, it is pretty random. The second was today when I started my computer it started but the video was not working for either monitor. Then after the restart it did not want to even crack up. I let it sit for a bit to think about what it did and then it started right up.

Now I also have a ton of crap in this computer:

Asus P4P800
P4 2.8 533 FSB @ 3.0 (Zalman 7000CU)
ATI 9700 Pro @ 350/330 (AMD Heatsink Fan)
Adaptec 39320-R SCSI Card
Intel 10/100 ethernet card (this is in addition to the onboarg gigabit that is connected to another computer)
2x 15k RPM Seagate SCSI 36.7 GB HD's (HD Cooler on both of these)
WD 160 GB ATA HD
WD 200 GB ATA HD
WD 250 GB SATA HD
LiteOn 52x CDR
LiteOn 48x CDROM
8x 80mm Case Fans

All this is run on a Antec True430.

The question is; is this to much for my poor Antec. This problem just started to happen recently. This was about the same time I added the 250 GB HD and one momre Fan.
 
What version of the TP430 do you have? How many amps do you have max on the +12v?

disconnect a few hard drives and see how that goes.
