stability lost...
danger of frying/losing some components (losing voltage is usualy corrolated with voltage spikes/shorts) power fluctuation = comp death... well, maybe that is an exaggeration - but it is not good

Usialy a magor voltage dip results in a simi surge when the psu recovers. Also some componets can't work well or not at all with low voltage.

when a psu blows, lot of times it takes something with it or melts the connectors to the mobo etc
its really not a good situation, thats why when i see power spikes i got a new psu right away because it would suck to loose a bunch of parts to a cheap PSU
