i've had this issue be4, but it was not the psu. ended up being that my dvd-rw had shit on me.
other things that have happened in the past to fix this were uninstalling nero & the rom. have windows redetect the rom & update the firmware of the rom. then install nero again.

Well its probably the PSU. I would assume that you need a stronger one. May I ask which card you bought? Cause it looks like the PSU is the main problem.

^I posted all the details on page 1..
What happens when buying a new PSU, and how cheap can I get one that will do the job for me properly?
How do I figure that one out? Sorry, I'm a hardware novice when it comes to dealing with bits and bobs inside the PC.
it should say on the side of the PSU. XXXX Wattage. Also look at the amp values for 3.3v, 5v, and 12v.
You should check out PSU's from Corsair. They make really good stuff and offers a great "best bang for the buck". The 450 w should be good enough for you.
Is that two cards or one card and a typo?
If it is one card, Ati/AMD recommend a 550W PSU, if it is 2 cards they recommend 750W.
They (and I) also recommend certified PSUs. If you think about it, your whole system depends on the PSU, if it fails how much of your system will it take with it. Definitely not an area where you want to skip quality parts.
.Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
Totally agree the PSU is the Nervous system of the rig.
Corsair does make good ones. 620HX modular FTW
