fyi - problem solved.

i got an antec 480W, and it seems to work fine. dont know why the
antec 330W was not enough power, but whatever.

Too many people are saying things that either untrue or
quite misleading. First 300 watts is more than enough power
for most systems. However many inferior supplies don't even
output power as claimed. Furthermore, to sell at sub $80
retail, many supplies are missing essential functions required
by all switching supplies even when HP was building them 30
years ago.
