The power supply could indeed be the problem. It's no great power supply, and I have two (PATA) HDs. No fancy graphics card, though --- only a SIS 315.
I have also a DVD burner. However, I've been able to successfully burn DVDs (when more power would be needed, I guess).
Still, changing the power supply would be the easiest thing for me to do. At the worst, I'll have a good one to use when I decide to build a new system. (Unlike the DDR1 modules that the motherboard uses.)
