hi i have just built a new pc i have a problem

amd64 3800+ athlon x2
msi k9n ultra mobo
200gb sata hard drive
radeon 1600xt graphics card
hiper 580 psu

my problem is when i start to burn a dvd all the system shuts down. its not the normal shutdown all the power just goes and i have to restart the pc. i have tried with alcohol and nero but get the same thing.

can anyone please help me

I'm pretty sure this wont be a virus issue, so no need for the Prework I think.

But excellent going in that you're already upto date with the change from Ewido to AVG btw.


Hya Tezh, welcome to PCHF.

Are you sure you have connected everything correct? Like all the power connections, IDE/SATA/floppie cables, jumper settings ect.?

Is it your first build, or do you have experience in building pc's?

i have built pc before but it was about 5 years ago. i think i have done it right but if there is somthing that u think i my have done wrong i will be happy to try

thanks for your help but i have solved the problem it was a faulty memory stick
thanks again tezh

hey tezh,
glad to hear that you fixed your problem

hi i posted a problem on here a few days ago regarding my new system. i thought i had solved it but i didnt. my problem was when i try to burn a dvd the system looses all power and i have to restart again. tried all sorts of things including
full format,
swapping memory
sticks around,
a different dvd rewriter,
i even whent out and bought a new psu which cost me £60

in the end i looked on the MSI FORUM and found out there is a problem with the mainboard when you put dual core cpu in.so i have sent it for testing at the place i bought it an got a new one the ABIT NF-M2 nView

i would like to thank the people that tried to help me tezh
