I have a 600 watt power supply on this computer. I tried to add a SSD today, a 128gb OCZ Agility3. The drive was/is working perfectly this morning. Now, when I plugged it in, the power does not go on. I unplug it, the power goes on fine. I figure my computer needs under 400 watts to run and with a coolermax 600 watt PSU, nothing. Is it the power supply? Could one of the rails be bad? Any info is appreciated.

Solution
That may be your problem, they're not a very well-reputed brand. When gaming or anything, do you get crashes? Have you tried using another SATA data/power lead?
