My A1200 did exactly that until I upgraded to a 100w PSU. With a setup like
yours I doubt you're using a standard PSU or an A500 PSU so you *should*
have enough power. However, IIRC, PPC boards can freak-out if they don't
have enough power (the Accelerator port doesn't provide enough juice for the
board in some cases.)
I read an issue of "Eyeline Direct" (which mysteriously stopped appearing a
while ago) which provide advice on how to connect an extra power feed to the
PPC board - I don't own a PPC myself :( so I've never tried it, but perhaps
you should aski if they've got any spare copies of Eyeline Direct in stock.

Out of interest, what's the legal status of products that were under Phase 5
warranty when the company closed down? Do they become void immediately or
does the company which buys up P5's IPO's, products and contracts take on
the responsibility?
