Did everyone miss the obvious? The PSU was overloaded (it's only 330 Watts), it overheated and then BZZT and F#$%K.

I'd bet than you raised the voltage on everything: the CPU, RAM and even the AGP slot. When you burned a CD, the most power hungry function, the PSU couldn't take it anymore.

That's why I'm going for a 430 Watt PSU: I'm not dealing with being short of power, and I will not overheat a PSU.

Once in a while, we get lucky and get a 330W PSU that can take a little more. Not always though...
