I did not have it connected at that point, as I did not wish to accidentaly overwrite it..

no errors, no BSOD, just a click and no power to the system.

I have to remove the power lead, then replace it and power back up...

It sounds like the PSU, but it is a fairly new 450w supply, and I cannot see it using more than that...

(but as I say, I could be wrong)...
