    I got my PSU yesterday. I hooked everything up and booted. Vista went about good the first boot but i booted again it had some drivers failing. I beleive it was a network driver. I used my upgrade disc and upgraded to Windows 7 and have only restarted the machine twice and that was to install the updates. So far everything has worked fine. Anything i should do?

        FALSE ALARM

        For some reason my boot priority was set differently and when i tried to set the boot priority my hard drive wasn't showing up.

          I found the solution and my pc is now in proper working condition. I thank all who have helped me with my issues. My problem was a bad stick of ram. I used the tools in the boot menu of Kubuntu to test my hard drive and memory. I let the memory test run over night i woke up to 173,489 errors. I went threw the proccess of elimination and found the bad stick of memory. Thanks very much guys.

            Probably can't get your money back but it most likely has a lifetime warranty. You will probably have to go through the manufacture for a replacement and not where you bought it.
