Using 2 power supplies

by hipal . Updated 21 years ago

Is it possible to use 2 PSU to control components within the same computer? I am suffering from lack of power to run my DVD burner and HD at the same time. when booth are running power shuts off. I have an old power supply but the power on/off is controlled by a switch through the motherboard. I can’t find a good wiring diagram for the wiring of the PSU so that I can bypass this switch. If I wire one PSU to the DVD drive and leave the current one on the existing PSU will it still work properly? or I also wondered if you could simply spice the two components together? Running both off of the same switch. Any Ideas would be helpfull. Thanks
