I always thought that silverstone was a pretty decent manufacturer. but correct me if im wrong Watts = Volts x amps Amps = watts / volts 332/12= 27.6667amps PSU calculator estimates the total power consumption for the system at 485 watts but if i assume higher say 650w 650/12=54.1amps...

Now how long have you spent playing with the Fan LED's that change colour?

firstly its an ACER throw it out ;) Are you able to boot into BIOS or boot from a recovery CD? if so it may just be a bad installation of windows or a dodgy hard drive.
