[QUOTE="niekh, post: 57689, member: 10457"] Could be that your PSU is too weak (not enough wattage)...or maybe the following... I had similar symptoms after exchanging the heatsink on my CPU and it was driving me mad! After some investigation it turned out that the 3.3V rail of the PSU started to drop and the whole machine bluescreened when the voltage went down to about 2.8V. Oddly enough, the cause of this was a power connector (molex) that wasn't properly inserted into the DVD-Drive. Didn't think it would have something to do with 3.3V (since the molex carries +5V and +12V) but evidently the poor connection caused such a strain on the PSU so that it showed up first on the 3.3V rail. Good luck! /Nils [/QUOTE]
