IF YOU MEAN PSU STUDY HOW THE YOU REPLACING IS
MOUNTED AND CABELS LAYD.

The AMD Phenom II X4 850 (HDX850WFK42GM) uses up to 95 Watts of power,

(Electrical/Thermal parameters)

While the AMD Phenom II X4 965 uses up to 125 Watts, or 140 Watts; depending on which Part Number....

HDZ965FBK4DGI uses up to 140 Watts.
HDZ965FBK4DGM uses up to 125 Watts.

Scroll down a little.

I'm going with Not enough power from the Power Supply.

Power Supply is ONLY 300 Watts?

Yes, the Power Supply is too small IMHO.

Is there also a graphics card you have installed, and not stated?

Yes it will because I have the se edition of it. However I cannot recommend this combination because if this is like the se version it only supports a max of 4 gigs of ram. Shockingly 4 gigs of ram is still enough to play almost all titles that I know of. With that said I think serious pc gamers want at least 8 gigs. I'd recommend 16 gigs now a days.

you could upgrade to AMD PHENOM II X4 960T but you should probably try and overclock and save your money.

Win 7 should recognize the drives. However, whether your current hardware will recognize the drives is another question.

I've seen posts where it works in some situations, and not others. Amazon has 10 reviews with ratings running the gamut. Seems to be a "Hit or miss" proposition.

case sounds fine, a little iffy on the power supply.

If your main power is 220Vac and it is set in 115Vac. It could be you actually fried your power supply.

Here is the reason, in common power supply after the rectifier diode when it is set in 115Vac, its circuit acts as a voltage doubler, its mean in its downsteams it actually uses around 220Vdc. And when you uses it in 220Vac it will connect directly as a rectifier.

When you set it in 115Vac and plug in 220Vac. In its downstream it could be in 440Vdc, then its an overvoltage everything that can't compensate will be damaged.

Hope I give you some info.

You might want to take the drive out of the case and use and external drive connector to see if the drive still works.
