I am suspecting the PSU too.

Hmmm, at that point, when it starts copying files, it will spin up the CD-ROM motor, and also start writing to the HDD. This probably causes a sudden increase in power consumption, which could be a problem for a faulty PSU.
I never thought of it that way... Usually when you first boot up, everything spins for a few, so I'd expect it to kick out then... But then, come to think about it, everything goes off at once when you login too... Could be the reason why it is happening all the time in the same place... So you do have a valid point... May very well be the PSU Seph...
