I always assumed PS was ok, but did not understand these messages. I queried the suse-linux-e list once or twice about these messages, but got nary a bite. While my googling skills leave much to be desired, I found nothing relevant there either. <snip> I also have problems with the nvidia graphic drivers in such a way

I'm having a 400 Watt power supply in my PC.
And its not so good to hear that you have a 431 Watt power supply and still problems.
Best regards, Klaus.
Thanks for looking at this. While I am no hardware guru, I can see where you would suspect power supply. I think mine is really listed at 465W, 431 minimum or conservatively rated, something like that. I think my printer issue is software/hotplug related, not PS. The "...over-current change..." messages during boot still bother me, and I have not seen an explanation that really says what this is, or how to fix it, if it needs fixing. In any case, I have not seen any other issues that would lead me to suspect an insufficient PS. Richard
