Help, PSU Problems

Recently I have had two power supplies fail on me within two weeks when my desktop PC went into sleep mode. Replacing the power supply fixed the problem. Is this just a coincidence or could something else be causing the power supplies to fail?

The first PSU was (about 2 years of constant use)
600 watt OCZ StealthXstream.

Second PSU was (about 3 years of constant use
seasonic 430 Watt SS-430hb

I can give more details but I wanted to be brief.

Also, can someone recommend a high quality PSU that will be able to handle a Q6600, 4 HDD, DVD, TV Tuner. Considering upgrading video card to 4890 or GTX 295 when the GTX 295 comes down in price.

If you can find something at microcenter that would be better because I could get it today.

Thanks.
