You mentioned replacement of the power supply... was it rated high
enough for your system?  I have had random reboots and such with a
300W Antec (a good PS) after adding several additional hard drives
and a DVD.  Replaced the PS with a 650 Enermax  (you could probably
get by with less) and all is well.  Just a thought.
