First off, heres the setup

NF7-S rev. 2
Athlon XP Mobile 2500+
1 Gig A-Data pc4000
2 120gig maxtors (1 sata, 1 pata)
2 optical drives
Radeon 9600 pro

Im using the PSU that came with my case. Its a cheap "Just4PC" 480 watt. It was running fine a few weeks ago with a desktop xp2600 and 512 megs of ram, but since i upgraded to the mobile and a gig, i cant get my machine prime stable!!! All voltages in MBM are showing slightly above where the should be (12v around 12.10, etc) with slight fluctuations but nothing too bad.

prime errors after 20-30 minutes no matter what i have my vcore at, which makes me think that im getting random voltage spikes and/or drops that cause the crash. does this sound right?

I'll try post more details when i get home tonight, just looking for some opinions before i go dump $100 on a new PSU.
