I have this nagging problem with my daughters computer, it runs great but when she loads a cd the power shuts down ubruptly. I have looked at the power supply to try and find a loose connection to no avail. It seems as though the slightest nudge will cause this outage. Any suggestions? Its a P3 600mhz, AOpen MB, 128 memory, WinXP-SP2 recent 'clean install' very lean, probably 80% unused space, it's mainly a web surfing machine. Your help will be much appreciated, Cheers! :D

Can you try a different cd drive, just to rule out the drive itself?
Also switch the molex power plug to an avail. one.
maybe switch out the data cable while your there too.

Thanks, I'll swap out the rom drive first and let you know, I may as well start at the obvious point first. :)
