When fixing PCs as a fulltime occupation, I found the PSU to be the most common cause of random and "inexplicable" crashes - slightly more often, I would say, than bad or overheating RAM, but with symptoms generally indistinguishable.
Many computer enthusiasts will look down on £20 or £30 PSUs, but I don't think that spending 2 or 3 times as much would have had any benefit for the users I serviced.
