If this is what is now happening, you may find the system is still
prone to unexpected crashes. You need to exercise the machine on full
stress loading before assuming the problem has gone away (Prime 95
whilst accessing media in the BD).

You should be able to substitute the PSU on a temporary basis (i.e. not
fitted into the case - simply connected up) to test whether a
replacement PSU would be worth considering.

Yeah good thinking I guess I am not out of the woods yet, one thing that is
dissapointing is that the picture in MCE is worse then it used to be with
the onboard graphics, its got a snowy ish look about it now, probably
becuase the new graphics card is right next to the tv tuner card, its mainly
channels 1-4 that are affected however.
