new system wont even install linux . nutritional problem? [chrome orbs] [sparkle power supply]

Q: Hi . I threw together a system consisting of: SY-

soyo D6IBA dual proc main board
2 celery X-366 at 550 u003e Tekram slockets with
matrox G200 vid card
smc 10/100 10/100 nic
3com nic
sb16 sound card
3 X ide harddrives
8x cdrom

all this (plus 3 case fans) are powered by a 235 watt
the strange is that I can install win2k and win9x fine, just install linux!
the CPUs 550 fine (she was in previos systems) and all other components were part of my linux box before (aka work in Linux)
can someone help me!?

Best Answer: it's most probably because of the power supply,try replacing your SMPS

Re:ever since i had trouble at 550 i have tried every successive install at 366. i still have no idea whats going on.
