O.o never met a computer where a fan addition overstressed the PSU. All that doesn't seem too much for the antec 480.... Try another PSU or disconnect some components to verify.

Probably happens under heavy HD/CD load. How many HD/CD do you have?

well this problem can be 2 things. either u need a new psu or that u havent properly connected everything. tyr reconnecting ur memory and video card and then see wat happens. also make sure u didnt damage any of the connectors.
