Have you blown the dust out of this PSU with a can of compressed air?

Jeantech is not a very good PSU. That may be the issue is the quality is not up to your rig. Please list your specs so we have an idea of what it is trying to pull.

mmm, well it cost me 70 quid when i got it and its all modular and things and ive never had a problem with power but here are my specs,

2GB DDR2-800
2x 250GB- dunno the model cba to check some samsung sata drives
1GB 8800GT-XFX
E4500 Overvolted to 3.3 Ghz
Nvidia 610i mobo
my power usage on my fancontroller is 147W
i know it depends on loads on rails but its more than powerful enough
