I bought a CD / DVD LG in SATA2 to mount in an old PC with the config is:
- DFI Ultra-D
- AMD Athlon 64 3200+
- NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT
- Samsung SATA2 HD
- 32x IDE CD
- 32x IDE CD
all with a noname power supply PSX-A870 first version, 480W marked in red.
Where it gets funny is that I can connect the CD/DVD LG;
- It is detected by the BIOS
- It is detected by XP
as soon as I put a CD/DVD inside I hear that begins to turn and then my computer turns off. What violent manner. Without this drive everything was working perfectly (in years)
I saw that on my old CD is written: 5V/12V: 1A/1.5A
on the new CD/DVD LG: 5V/12V: 2A/2.5A
I even tried to unplug everything (HD, drive, floppy disk) and can connect the LG, the same effect. Yet my power supply is supposed to provide 10A on 12V max (that is inscribed on the label)
I returned to the store they showed me that the recorder worked well and there is an LG model IDE if I like. I read the label was 5V/12V: 1.5A / 2A (so a little less greedy!)
According to you it is better:
1 - to change power supply (it's expensive )
2 - request that the recorder exchange against SATA2 IDE, that would work with my current pc
Is it not possible that it comes from the motherboard?
