Power supply failures on classic style macs are quite common.  I had the
one on my 512E blow after about 2 years.  I have been told that it is
normal and there are non-factory parts that are better and avoid this
problem.  From my experience (whatever that means!!) there is no relation
between memory installed and power supply failure.  I have had zero problems
in my 512E since expanding it to 1M (fingers crossed).
