power supply is brand new. And it comes up just fine in the bios when going
through PC health and testing the amps its all working just fine. Heat
inside is well withen safe boundries only 43 for the CPU. I turned off auto
restart and fast writes in the bios and now waiting for for a random
restart. So wish me luck!!
