  • "What would you expect them to do if there's not enough power for them" − warn the user with a notification on screen which BIOS interprets as "device with ID N at interface M in slot X, Y and Z are reporting that they can't start up coz there's not enough power for them" instead of just not booting or booting but instantly shutting down, potentially harming something or ruining the data on the hard drives. I understand that in cases where data security is important, accidentally installing too weak a power supply is not a common case, but accidents happen and by 2017 precautions could exist.
