    Hi all

    Well, I finally bit the bullet and started a custom build project. Nothing fancy (I'm no craftsman) - just a mini-ITX mobo plus 2.5" hard disc in a 1U case to run ClarkConnect as my home router/firewall/NAS, etc.

    Having purchased the parts, I quickly cobbled them together to see if they were working. They're not. It'll boot up once but then fail if I reset it (following BIOS adjustments, for example). If I leave it on, it'll reset itself after a few minutes. Once the first reset occurs, it gets stuck in a loop resetting itself over and over leaving just enough time in-between for the BIOS to output a few lines.

    I've tested using a full-size ATX PSU and the problem goes away so it's looking like either my picoPSU-60-WI is the problem or the 60W multi-voltage AC-DC adapter I bought from Maplin is causing the trouble.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem with a picoPSU? Any advice very welcome.
