Regularly, but not always, i would access the CD/DVD Rom drive, and the computer would lock up. It would not restart again until I physically shut off the switch on the power supply...waited a few min... and turned it on again. with this tester, I get solid lights everywhere, including -5v, but the PG light flickers and I get the beeping from the tester. what does the PG light represent? I'm trying to eliminate the CD-DVD drive from being a possibility on the lockup.

You can read more about what it does here. http://www.pcguide.com/ref/power/sup/funcPowerGood-c.html If the PG light is flickering and the tester is beeping, it would probably be safe to say that your power supply is bad.</p> The PG light is for testing the "Power Good" signal which is what the power supply sends to the motherboard to let it know things are working correctly.
