PC keeps turning off

Hello all,

My new pc keeps rebooting when trying to access files like game patches on a storage IDE Hdd which is a Hitachi deskstar 250GB. And my pc keeps truning off when trying to burn a dvd or cd. I reseated the mobo in the case re plugged in all the wires and it is still happening.

System specs

Amd opteron 144 @stock
Giel 2GB Value kit @ Stock
Ati power colour x800GTO @ stock
Samsung Sata II 80GB Primary drive
Hitachi deskstar 250GB IDE Storage
Hiper 580W modular black
DFI Sli-D

Thanks.

Well i set up the system with just the SATA drive downloaded the patch file which was on the IDE drive and i opened the file and the pc didnt crash. So am i right in thinking this pc doesent like the IDE drive becuase i might be able to get another SATA and put this 250GB IDE in my other pc.
