Unosuke:
ok, so my computer works just fine in every aspect but this. if i wanna write something to my second hard drive thats kinna big, like a bunch of mp3s or movie files, it'll go for a little bit, then the whole computer just shuts off like somone pulled the plug, then i usually have to wait a couple minutes before i can get the thing to cut back on. any ideas on whats goin on?

McTaggart:
Is your power supply big enough to run both harddrives? It sounds like it's overheating and cutting out as a safety measure. That's also explain why you have to wait (for it to cool down) before you can start it again.

torg:
Exactly what i think, too.

Unosuke:
well thats all well and good, i can put in a new PSU, but how do i tell how powerful my current one is so i can get the next size up?

nihilist:
How much power can your current unit supply?  You'll probably want about 400W if you have a lot of hardware in it.
