Before I unplugged it, when I pushed the power button, it made noises like I had opened a gate to the bowels of hell.

While it was plugged in, my PC would randomly shut off. Before POST, After POST, During the windows boot up, while I was playing league. It didn't matter, it had a mind of it's own.

Long story short: Would a bad Optical Drive keep me from staying powered on? If not, was it that my PSU couldn't handle the load?
