Of course, I share that suspicion. :-)

However, since I was to spend a whole afternoon plugging and unplugging 
hardware, I took the oportunity to do some upgrading with extra spare parts 
as well (more memory, network card, etc). And when I saw that the old power 
supply was declared with 135 watts max output, I definitely took the chance 
of switching it for a 350W one. :-)

So even if the power supply was the true cause of failure for hd and dvd, it 
is not an issue anymore.

Best, :-)
