First of all: my apologies to Paul and VanguardLH. I should have just
listened to you both and went for the PSU instead of stubbornly playing
with thermal paste.

Second: you were both right, it was the PSU after all. I tried the old
one and (almost) everything works. I can even boot the Windows 7 that
was installed on a SSD. So tnx, guys, Paul in particular, for sticking
with me.

And I'm saying /almost/, because the PSU only has one SATA cable and I
need at least 3 (SSD with W7, SATA hdd for data, SATA for
CD/DVD-(re)writer). So I'm looking to buy a (cheap) PSU that will
support at least 4 SATA (SATA6?) devices. I think non modular would be
the easiest?

If someone could point me to one, maybe available at Amazon, because
it's no use if I'm going ask to have look at stores that only show
Dutch. (-:
