Problems powering Arduino

Im having some difficulty getting my quad to get power when connected. I have tried connecting the motors directly to the receiver and I am able to get power then, but when I connect the receiver to the arduino/shield I no longer get

    Hmm.. You might try an ARM based system (Like http://mbed.org/) or maybe a BeagleBoard (http://beagleboard.org/).

    Want to go into more detail about your project? I might be able to help more…

    i'm looking for a microcontroller but don't know exactly where to look…?
    well basically for this little project i’m doing, i expect to need some horse power, i was looking for about an 80MHz processor but no less then 64MHz and no less then 64MB of primary memory, and i’ve got a lot of code so i would need maybe 64MB or more to actually store the code (because i need wiggle room for upgrades. but this might not be a problem because i’m actually going to attempt to hook up a hard drive and could probably make use of that space as well and just have a core system on the EEPROM)

    anyways, that being said, i’m having the hardest time finding one that powerful.
    any suggestions?

    also i have an Arduino Duemilanove, it doesn’t measure up but if there was a way to add to it as far as processor and primary memory goes that would be an acceptable work around too.
