XFX HD 465X ZPF2 is the model number. Stating 400 watts gives them cover for badly designed poor efficiency psu's. You can easily replace the psu if a problem for less than 20GBP but if you are needing to do that it may be best to think hard about a new pc (250+ GBP)

This can be ignored - The configuration is always started before MP is started the first time. After that MP starts...
