Please log in for more thread options thinking this would give me enough to support the various devices in the computer. The problem I'm having is that as soon as I install the power to the secondary EIDE controlled devices, the Primary controller devices dissapear. The PC had been running with al its devices for two years, before the Power Supply died. Has anyone run into this problem before? Any suggestions as to what may be the cause of the pproblem? | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options probably doesn't deliver anything like the rated power. With PSUs it's not just fancy wattage figures, but amperage, build quality etc. See if you PC will boot up with fewer devices connected. If it does, its likely that your PSU is under powered.

Please log in for more thread options Thanks for the reply. That's what I suspected. I guess the write up on
it was not quite up to what it delivers. SteveH wrote: > >I replaced the power supply in my PC with a Echostar 680 Watt model,

If you disconnect the IDE cable from the secondary devices but leave the power cable connected, do you still see the same behaviour? >The PC had been running with al its devices for two years, before the

Please log in for more thread options Sounds like you may have been using an inexpensive PSU before, and when it
failed it fried some of your motherboard's components. -- DaveW ---------------- >I replaced the power supply in my PC with a Echostar 680 Watt model,
