Ok, be good if people read the post.
Firstly, its not a faulty HDD. If it is, then he has 2 (he said a 120gig version was tried too).
The most logical thing is, its the PSU. A 350W should handle that easy, let alone a 500+.
Im afriad the only thing you can do is testing. You say its a new pc, so I assume you got some old parts.
Swap stuff around. My first try would be the old PSU, see if that does the same. No, scratch that you said it happened with that too.
Hang on. You plug the HDD in while its on?
Leave everything off, dont connect power till you have it all plugged in. Then turn it on. I may have just understood your wording, but you did say when you plug it in it all shuts down.
Unfortunatly, because this forum is so crap and bungie wont ever fix it, none of your links work.
Can you explain what your doing?
Not sure, but it seems your not just trying to start afresh, your using old parts as well.
