Beer do you think without out the bracket i can fit a Noctua NH-L12 which is 92mm with one fan ?
Did a few testing with power meter. On start up it goes up to 56w to 70w. Then just before login screen around 40w then once logged in and not doing nothing it's at 25w and some time goes to 40w. When it hits 70w to 73w computer shuts down and it happen on 53w as well shuts down. I think it's random

Looking at your specs from the first page, I don't see this build needing a picoPSU-150. I've run more on a 120W DC / 84W AC adapter. That means I had 84W to work with but even stuffed to the gills I never saw more than 70W using Prime95. Here's what I've run with a 12V 7A 84W AC adapter:
i3-2100
ASUS P8H61-I motherboard
4GB RAM
64GB SDD
250GB 2.5" HDD
slot-load DVD
PowerColor HD5450 GPU
USB IR receiver
USB RF keyboard receiver
Have you tried running a memory test?
Also, best $14.99 I ever spent was a PSU tester.

try to get it working inside XBMC 1st.
u need to play with your audio options in XBMC.
check your device driver in audio settings.
