This is silly because it's the second time that it's happened to me. Had to downgrade the processing power of my desktop's P4 from 2.4 to 2.0 because the motherboard couldn't supply the power it needed. Gads. [/quote:b3be87651b]
When getting new stuff (video card, hard drives, etc.), you also have to check if the current power supply in your tower is enough. It's one of the things people seriously overlook when buying shiny new upgrades, and it often leads to disappointment. Well, that aside from motherboard issues.
My suggestion is, if you have an extra day or two, keep the 120GB HD, and just get a new power supply and slap that on. As for the details, I hope Google can be of greater help in than I am.
