Hello, I need some

I have 5 IDE devices in my computer (4 HDs and a CD-ROM), and everytime I try to replace the CD-ROM (which is working fine, it reads all my CDs) with a DVD-RW drive, it fails on me.

Windows boots fine, it finds the new hardware, installs the drivers and so, ask me to reboot - I do it - and then it loads Windows again and everything seems fine... till I try to read a DVD or CD with it. Windows simply freezes. My mouse gets stuck, there's no response from the keyboard (the lights won't go off/on - ie. caps lock) and all that I can do is to press the Reset button...

I tried both LG 4160b and LG 4163b models (never had a problem with LG products) but they show up the same problem.

I'm posting my EVEREST log as an attachment in hope it helps a little. Thank you in advance and sorry about my bad english - it's still under construction

Dear phua zheng hao,

Thanks, I'll try installing a new power source (mine's 450W), maybe a 600W one and see if it works. I'll get back to you with the results.
