Stereo Sub Vibration Causing Pc To Reboot!

i thought it was the hard drive at first, and because of heat on top of that, i decided to get an external drive and move it far far away form the trunk, turns out you cant run vista off a usb drive, so i took the drive apart and its a 2.5 sata drive. so i ran some sata cables and extended the power too.


now the drive is in the back seat and i hold it in my hand to make sure its not the drive crashing due to the bass vibration, and when i crank a song the pc reboots. i have my pc in my trunk where the spare tire was under the floor. it lays in a regular pc case on its side, on top of carpet cushion stuff for a little added vibration dampening. and i just dont know how the hell im going to stop the virbation from crashing the pc short of remove my amp and subs.

i have a rockford 800 with 2 12" kicker comp subs. the subs fire up and are above the pc and a little in front of the pc, not directly above it.



ANY THOUGHTS ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS???

i have seen other installs with the car pc basically bolted to the: sub box...how the hell is that????
