and how come the dvdrom and cdwriter can't work at the same time?
do i need a stronger PSU? (400W for example) and how can i calculate how many watts my pc is using of the 300W PSU ?
and if someone could tell me some good diagnostics / overclock programs / sites i would certainly appreciate it 
and tnx for the great pic bigben2k

MBM: I'd try checking the configuration of MBM, to see if the 5V indicator is linked to the 5V sensor.
DVD+CDRW: I suspect a power failure. Your PSU 300W may be on the weak side, for everything that you are running. What you can do (if you've got more CDs to sacrifice!) is monitor the voltage on that 5V line, while you're CD-writing. If the 5V line drops below 4.75 or dips quickly, then you know that the PSU just can't handle it. If it doesn't, then I'd suspect either an incompatibility problem (try using separate channels) or a driver issue (get the latest one).
Otherwise, your PSU should be OK, but I can't say for sure. Personally, I've picked a 430W PSU, just because I don't want to deal with any of this...
