I was prepping for a 4.01 to 5.1.1 upgrade but my S8300/G700 restarted when I plugged in a DVD drive.
Can somebody pls explain why it can cause a restart?
 
If its one of the newer DVD ROM drives, it has an internal battery, that needs to be plugged into a PC USB port to charge it, as the S8300 does not have enough power availble to charge/run the drive.

Try turning on the power switch on the rear, and charge your USB DVD drive for a day or so, see if that helps.

What most likely happened, is you caused a power spike, and then S8300 rebooted...
