sounds like a power supply issue. I find it hard to believe that a retailer would have sold you a computer that close to it's maximum power requirements though. A dvd drive shouldn't put you over the top. Does it have another optical drive that you can use to install windows?

Does sound like a power issue, but it would help greatly if you could list your full system specs..
