    You don't say (so I am assuming not) that this problem occurs under any other conditions, so the optical drive itself (or settings pertaining to it) seems like the obvious starting point.
    How would I do any of that?

    Ok let me clarify this. It doesnt just randomly reboot in Windows, it will reboot if I am playing a game or something which leads me to the suspicion that one of my drives is causing this, although this never happened with my old mobo.

    to access your BIOS, when ur system is booting, press one of the F keys. I have to use F12. It should say BIOS setup or something like that right when it boots.

    Yeah I think its the delete button for me but I don't know what is correct and what is not in the BIOS.

    maybe a firmware is needed?
    or maybe windows isnt playing well with your mobo's IDE controller?
    is the IDE cahnnel that the optical is on even enabled?

    so many questions, so little answers....

    Ok I think this drive is fecking up my PC because when I install from it my PC would reboot after a little bit. Where could I get the firmware for it? How would I be able to tell if Windows is working well with my IDE controller? And where do I check if the IDE channel is enabled?

    Device manager will tell you if the drivers are loaded and the device is enabled.
    You can also check in BIOS to ensure that the IDE controllers are turned on.

    I'm assuming, since you mention fitting a new mobo but not CPU, that you moved the CPU from your old board to the new one. Did you clean off and reapply fresh heatsink compound?
