If you have an Asus A8N-E, A8N-SLI, or other A8N mb powered by an Antec Neo
HS power supply and your system is exeperiencing spontaneous shutdowns, see
http://episteme.arstechnica.com/grou...r/243009766731
(among others). There's a problem with the Neo HS power supplies and the A8N
motherboards. Apparently Antec knows about the problem and will RMA a
replacement PS if you have this problem. I returned a Neo 500 HS to my
retailer for a TruePower 550 and haven't had a problem since.

I've seen alot of posts in other newsgroups about spontaneous shutdowns from
people with A8N-x mboards and the Neo HS PS, so thought I'd post this.

This problem is not limited to that mobo. I had sporadic results with the
NeoHE 430W on my A8N-VM CSM until it wouldn't boot at all. Swapped in a
Smartpower 400W and it's been fine since.
