Is the PSU the same under both? To me that seems like the only constant, and would make a heck of a lot of sense, especially if it's an "El Cheapo" PSU.

I was asking about the Power supply, not the CPU.

Okay, so you're using different PSUs for each?

To help prevent a lot of back and forth on each, please do the following:

  • List out all the components (with specific model numbers) in each machine
  • List of symptoms and when it started happening
  • List all the troubleshooting steps you've gone through so far

As for the different ATX power headers on the motherboard, that is for extra power delivery to the CPU. It started off as an additional 4-pin, and as CPUs became more powerful, they moved up to an 8-pin. Lower-end boards assume lower-end (read: less power hungry) CPUs, and cut costs by limiting the power delivery.
