Yes there is a possibility that there is a power supply issue, go back and check that all internal connections are secure, remove and then replace each one securely, if no joy disconnect the new drive and see if there is any change.
The specs show a stock 300W PSU as being fitted, is this still fitted and have you added any other additional hardware such as an add on video card or second HDD.
A bad MB is also a possibility but the PSU or an associated power cable are strong contenders.

I followed your suggestions and when I unplugged the 2nd dvd burner that I had recently installed. My system fired up. So, this means that my current PSU of 300w it's not enough to run 2 dvd burners, right? If I want to replace it. what is the maximum wattage I can replace it with? I don't want it to harm my PC.
Thank you

I asked previously;

What is the answer please!
You cannot harm your PC by fitting a more high powered PSU than is required as the system will only draw the power that it requires to run stably, you can however harm your bank balance by spending additional cash needlessly, please answer the above question and this will enable us to suggest the appropriate output PSU for your needs.

If by fitted, you mean that if my PSU it's still installed in my PC? yes, my 300w PSU its still in my PC. the only thing that I have added was a second dvd buner. I now hve 2 burners and that's it, no Hdd or any other card.
thank you

Yes that was what I was asking, thanks.If by fitted, you mean that if my PSU it's still installed in my PC? yes, my 300w PSU its still in my PC
A computer will not function without a HDD (it will read a disk but cannot store data) are you using an external USB type HDD?I now hve 2 burners and that's it, no Hdd or any other card.

Please satisfy yourself that you have done all the testing and checking of your present PSU and associated cables before you purchase a new PSU.
