The power requirements of a computer may be within the nominal specs of a PSU but that doesn't mean that individual output lines (particularly the 12v) will never be overstressed. This could happen during exceptional situations, such as system startup. The manufacturers of inferior PSUs can play a variety of games with the specifications to make them appear better than they really are. Weak or failing PSUs can cause some very unusual problems.

The fact that the problem only occurs on startup would tend to indicate that it is not an HD problem, although that cannot be entirely discounted.
