Have you ever met one of those people who seem to constantly have problems with their PC?

I had a neighbour once who was always having troubles - and no amount of driver reinstallation or tweaking would make things more stable.

In this guy's case, a large part of the problem was that abomination known as Windows ME, but eventually the root of his evil turned out to be cheap RAM and an even cheaper power supply (and, unfortunately for him, not a mystical ability to screw up computers).

There's no end to the fun that can be caused by a dodgy power supply, especially in this age of video cards that draw more power than CPUs.
