[QUOTE="elconejito, post: 144703, member: 12592"] the random reboots would tend to point towards the PSU. 300W from a "good" PSU should be enough to run what you have. If you have a cheapo PSU, there might be your issue. Going with higher watts draws more power (bad for your electric bill) and makes more heat (bad for components). Also, make sure you didn't bump your RAM while installing second HD. Mine are right next to each other with very little clearance and that could cause problems too. Is your new 7600GS fan-cooled? If so, I bet that is the cause of your constant noise. If it is heat-sink only then you may have temp issues. [/QUOTE]
