Antec true 330W, year and a half - 2 years old IIRC.
P4P800 dlx, 2.6C, 9800Pro + silencer

Recently bought the graphics card used, but its worked fine until now. Half the time the boot screen is corrupted to hell and the rest the corruption starts soon after login. Computer is completely unusable.

VPU recovery activates constantly, to the point where at least once its activated twice before the notice showed up for the first one.

Dont know what the 2.6C should be getting voltage wise, but you can see what it is getting fed. Im fairly sure antec has 3 yr or lifetime warrentee, but with school not starting for another couple weeks Im going to go insane if it needs to be switched out.

This started today, but Ive been out of town and using remote desktop to use my comp at the apartment and check up on the encoding I had it doing (75GB worth of DVDs being encoded for much simpler storage). And with RDC you use the clients videocard, meaning I can wouldn't have noticed if it was doing it while I was gone. (and letting me use it from my cousins computer, for now).

Am I going to need to replace the PSU?

Sounds like the vid card. Have you tried it in a different system?
dont have another system to test it with. As I said, its been fine for a week or more.

System seems to have returned to normal too. No errors at all almost following that post. I dont know WTF is up with this thing.
