Yeah but the point is it only happened after he installed a new psu so the

Still worth checking everything else though. When the computer box
was pulled out for psu transplant SOMETHING may have been re-connected
differently - maybe a cable that was realised to be redundant? That
may have been the very one that stabilised the grounding system!

You are absolutely right in that respect but I'd still replace the psu with
something decent first.
