> Okay, that's definitely sounding like a power issue.

Here's what I have:

500W Antec PSU, only a few months old:

Gigabyte nForce4 SLI mobo

m
PCI video card
PCI SCSI card
160gb Seagate SATA drive
160gb Maxtor IDE drive
80gb Maxtor IDE drive
Internal DLT7000 drive
LG GSA4183 DVD burner

I replaced the old 400W PSU with the 500W one when it wasn't strong
enough to power the DLT drive.  Should I just give up and move the DLT
drive to an external bay?  I'll try disconnecting the drive for a while
to see if that makes a difference.

This is sure giving me the humbugs :-|
