Actually, no, I haven't noticed that. :) I do see them more frequently being suggested as a possible problem, and then after some time and expense on the part of the reporters it nearly always turns out to have been a device driver bug, or (less often) a firmware quirk of the device. Yes, PSUs are often suggested as a problem here, but only rarely has that been true. Especially nowadays, as PSUs are becoming much larger than they historically once were.
