I just went atx myself!  It sounds kinda like the power supply is just doing
its standard power saver business...  Somewhere there's an ATX howto which I
still haven't found (hint hint if anyone knows where it is).  But all I've
done is just disable all the powersaver shutdowns (one for disks, others for
other things which I can't remember).  That should be in your BIOS options
somewhere.
