    New build, SATA not recognized

    I got Ontrack's Easy Recovery Professional, it can find the files on the drive but it does not show their filenames (ex: FILE0410.xxx) it just groups them into their extensions. Is there a way the drive can be read so I can see the filenames?

    DVD-ROM being accessed, pc restarts

    Couldn't be overheating, cpu is at 31 deg Celsius and rest is at 28 deg Celsius. I don't get any error message when the pc shuts down with those options unticked like stduc recommended. The power supply came with the case and is at 400w. I'm now looking at getting a 500w power supply.

    DVD-ROM being accessed, pc restarts

    I checked the DMA and that all checked out. Also messed around with those startup & recovery options. Now, my pc just shuts down at anytime. Don't think it is a virus (scanned with Norton Antivirus 2006) or spyware. Think it may be the power supply. Any thoughts?
