Try to boot from the DVD rive by using any a windows installation disk. If you can't, then boot to windows and download and update your firmware. If still the same thing, load bios defaults, shut down system, unplug system from power outlet, push and hold down the tower's power button for ten seconds, replug system, turn on system, try to use the dvd drive. If still no go, replace dvd drive.

My (factory fitted original) PSU which has just died is rated at 305watts for my Dell dimension 5100 system. I want to replace it with the same part but everywhere I read suggests that 305 watts is under powered: even though this is the manufacturer's supplied rating. The manufactuer's part is very quiet and a 450 watt unit I have tried is far too noisy - that is why I want to use the original part (it also revved up when it needed to rather than maximum cooling all the time). But could it be inadequately powered? I haven't really upgraded my system but I will be connecting an external hard drive.
