Hey guys, I recently bought a new hard drive and a bunch of mod stuff for my case (lasers, more fans etc.)
Now I can't have all of my hard drives plugged in at once or it hangs at the boot screen (you know, PRESS ESC TO ENTER BIOS screen). This is my first time doing the whole mod thing, so I'm wondering if I'm over-taxing my power supply or if I'm just retarded and missed something else. My hard drives are as follows: 40 GB IDE (master with WinXP), 200 GB IDE (slave), 160 GB SATA and 300 GB SATA.
Is this a case of an over-use on the power supply? It's 450 watt, I believe.
Thanks in advance for any advice, and lemme know if more info is needed.
P.S. Sorry for being a n00b, this is my first time with modding stuff :/
