For anybody else that has no clue what is being talked about here, this is a guiminer error. When I googled, the answer was in the top of the results: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.msg167122#msg167122

You will likely need to get the 6-14-2011 guiminer version, pick "new miner" from the file menu, and use the ufasoft CPU miner. It has been removed from the recent versions because CPU mining costs 10x more in electricity than the Bitcoins it generates.

A CPU is orders of magnitude slower at mining than a lowliest hd5000 series card.

You probably shouldn't mine until you get that PSU replaced.
Never skimp on a PSU, it's the component that makes or breaks a mining rig.

If you choose to proceed with CPU mining, my recommendations are
Code:
upgrade to the latest guiminer version || use a cpu-mining enabled cgminer compile
