80386 DX Build, Ep. 14 - Power On, No Smoke

This might be a fairly boring video -- and it’s a bit choppy -- but some of you might enjoy seeing steps I went through. I had to do some troubleshooting of over-current output on my power supply. In the end, it was just that the system pulls more current on initialization (inrush?) than I was expecting and bumping up the limit on my power supply took care of the issue. I’ll have to research if and how this can be improved.
