No, not without pulling apart one of my home pc's and using the PSU from there.

I've done a bit of googling and the pages I've found are telling me that this is caused by the PSU capacitors going sour and not being able to store enough juice. The PSU works fine when I have the ATX cable unplugged from the mobo becuase there is nothing for it to power, however when it is plugged in to the mobo it can't supply enough current for everything and switches off automatically to prevent damage.
