Hello,
I recently installed/added a 750gb WD black caviar to my existing system and installed Win7 on it. I left my existing system alone. I am curious that the installation of another hard drive would effect the voltage to my RAM. My system will only work with 2 2gb modules installed. If I install 3, it will work sometimes, 4 not at all. Basically BSOD. It seems logical that the extra hard drive pulls my wattage down across the board. Can anyone tell me if increasing my voltage to my RAM will help or do I need a bigger PS if I choose not to loose the older HD that I am keeping for a back up with Vista Ultimate 64 on it.
