this Picu PSU should be perfectly fine. I personaly used a pico PSU-120 with the EFIKA (its slightly more powerful than yours) and it worked fine. Now I'm using exactly this very PSU-120 with my Pegasos2 which has lots of more components and needs more power than the Efika and it still works fine. G4, 512MB, Radeon 9250, small SATA 2,5" HD, SATA Adpter thingy, SCSI Card, DVD Writer and external USB devices. No problems. Only the external Powerblock thingy runs a bit hotter than with the EFIKA.
So a 90Watt one surely should be enough for an EFIKA. Just make sure your external power block is powerful enough. There seem to be differences there too. Maybe tell us what the stats of this thing are?
But then there als could be some hardware problem, maybe your PSU is just broken.
