Same Problems

[SandboxKing]

I purchased a Epox 8HKA+ and had a problem. Whenever I inserted a CD into either my CD-RW or DVD, the system would restart. This happened so many times that I did a RMA and got a new board. Everything was fine until the problem reoccured only 1 day later. What is up. Do I need to change my settings. Also, I think it might be the fact my MOBO reads my CD-RW and DVD as ATA33. Help?

I don't know your problem, but this....

<I>I think it might be the fact my MOBO reads my CD-RW and DVD as ATA33</I>

...is not it

And 330W seems powerful enough. I guess there's a slight possibility that your motherboard is shorting somewhere. I've heard that two things specifically seem to cause strange, unexplainable problems: the PSU, and a shorted mobo.
