Symptoms:
- The system has been locking up randomly after the addition of the Sony
DVD writer.
Put the writer back in, disable all DMA and see if system remains stable. Infact, stress-test with this config if possible.
I had a similar lock-up issue after adding an NVidia AGP card - found that my SMPS was not able to cope with all that load. But system would run stable by either: 1) disabling DMA 2) underclocking the CPU (lowered FSB)
I eventually went for a branded PowerSafe PSU.
