How much power?

Please can anyone advise me regarding the power supply requirements for my PC?

I am getting a fault with the PC whereby each time I login to Windows XP the PC automatically reboots. A quick search on Google suggested that this MAY be a power supply problem. I currently have 3 x SATA drivdes and 2 DVD rewriters in the PC - having added an extra disk a whila ago. All worked OK for some time, but I am wondering if perhaps the PSU is not up to the extra load.

Any thoughts?

Regards

If it is the system in your signature then the 430w Truepower ought to be more than sufficient, it might not be working correctly but in theory at least it should be fine.
