PSU causing problems to FW-interface?

So my former 380W Antec True Power broke down last week, and I bought an used 250W PSU from a friend for replacement. Did also a fresh install of software/drivers.

Now my Audiofire just crackles in ASIO applications, if I set "release driver when application is in background" in Cubase, and momentarily switch to any other program / then back, it works fine for a short moment.

I'm not sure what the IRQ settings were before, but now firewire is in bus 21 and no other device shares it. CPU isn't showing any spikes either. So could this be caused by the PSU? (the audiofire isn't powered via FW).

The point isn't to "get out of your body", it's to bring awareness to your consciousness while you're experiencing another reality.

Perhaps if you are using an undersized and overheating psu that will surely fry your computer and house.

Works fine now. Did a fresh Windows install from a less tweaked image.

Yeah, that was my first thought as well. 250W is pretty meager for any computer that is performing the tasks required for music production and powering the necessary components, assuming of course that you're using a few HDs, a decent processor (dual-core or better), fans, etc. I'd definitely recommend beefing that up as soon as you can. There are many resources on the web that can help you figure out how much power you should have, but I'd throw out 400W as a minimum guesstimate for most music producing computers. It's one of the most important components in your box - don't skimp on it!
