stuttering startup

[Postal Dude]

When i turn my computer on. All the lights and fans switch on. it starts booting. After about 5 seconds, there seems to be a power droop. The lights dim, the fans slow. It does that for bout 1/4 of a second. Then it boots up fine. It does it everytime which is quite concerning. PSU is an antec 430 truepower. Only jus started doing it. Not added anythin recently. I kno it cant be healthy for my system. Anyone point me in the direction of whats up?

How old is your PSU? Try making sure all the wires are secured. Follow them all leading to the PSU.

Psu is a couple of months old. Basically brand new. All the wires are fine. If one of them was wrong i dont think it would just do that little stutter at startup. Will record a video and host it sumwhere for you to see.

Ok.

Sounds like something is sucking down too much power at startup. Are you talking about the rig in your sig? How many drives do you have?

yeah its the rig in my sig. Cant do the video thing. quality is too poor on my phone. 2 cd drives and 1 hard drive. 1 uv light. water pump. 6800GT. Thats about it. Might be too much stuff pullin current at startup. Why would it suddenly start tho?
