Recently at gentoo-br we had an issue like yours and it turned out to be the power supply, the guy got a new one with enough power (after unplugging the DVD and CD-RW and the machine going stable). There are a number of "generic" PSs that come with not enough power for today's hardware requirment, it doesn't matter if it matches your MOBO specs, if the DVD (or another device, even USB ones, mostly video cards) sucks power, its gone. > > > > > PSU - as in Power Supply Unit. > > You don't necesserily need to buy a new one, but you could try > unplugging some devices and running the system on minimum hardware to > see how stable it is(n't). > > As i said, i've had a machine just power off, i suspect the power supply > to be on its way.
