Well, this was a strange situation. Maybe because I'm still not used to the concept of multiple voltage rails. What I have has only one voltage rail, so if it fails, the whole thing fails. :D

You know I've read somewhere that multiple voltage rails is not a better design like everybody think it is!!!

    Correct, but thanks to that design I still use that PSU in a machine with only 2 Drives.:) But I went through hell to find out the issue when my system started to freeze randomly.

    I fount the problem, and It was PSU. I found it when I switched PSU with another PC, one of the drive power conductor's 12V railing is not working. When it plugged to CD-Writer it's tray won't eject.

    The problem was that drive power conductor was plugged to my VGA card. So ultimately due to lack of power VGA card halted the entire system. Thanks very much all of guys who gave support to sort out this mess.:)

    thanx, I hope at least my new PSU is of single rail design.
    A single rail doesn't necessarily mean it is good. There are way more things to consider. Just make sure you get at least 20A on the 12V rail.

    Its really confusing when you want to buy a good PSU for a reasonable price!! :oo:

    AFAIK Henderson has an ASUS one and ASUS N7600GS doesn't have auxiliary power(well! the model which Heshan has :D)
    EDIT: oh found an Asus one with auxiliary power:D

    Henderson's 7600gs is agp one. Auxiliary power?
