Recently, my computer started to turn off (not 'shut down' but rather as if someone pulled the plug) randomly, and I really don't know where to start.
The most recent components I've added to my machine are a new DVD burner, an audigy 4, and a Corsair 520 watt psu. Before adding any of these I didn't have the problem. Common sense is telling me that it has something to do with the new psu, so there's a good chance I'll end up doing a rma to newegg.
The computer has only turned off maybe 3 or 4 times over the past week. At first I thought it might have to do with low voltage on my o/ced Opteron 165, but the problem still occurred when running at stock settings.
My hardware shouldn't be putting me anywhere near the 520 watt ceiling of the psu...my system:
Opteron 165 @2.6 (266x9 with 3/4 divider for ram)
DFI Ultra-d
2x512 Corsair Value Select pc3200 ddr
250gb, 300gb hard drives
4x120mm case fans (low speed)
ati 1600 pro (fanless)
Pioneer DVD R/W
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me. Happy New Year!

Do you still have your old PSU? If so. reinstall it and see what happens. Pull the Audigy and see what happens.
