| 588322 | 2007-09-05 18:17:00 | And now my PC will not boot with my 2 dvd drives connected. The drives and the hard drive are connected to the motherboard (Gigabye GA 8N SLI) via a long thin grey cable that looks like a peice of licqorice. All tho three are connected to the new Power Supply Unit (a Trust 570W pro) via white connectors (molex, is that the right name?). The computer boots when just the hard drive is connected, but not when the DVD drives are. If I connect them I the computer tales a loooong time to detect my HD (when it posts) and I get a message that says: Mediashield BIOS ver. xxx copyright 2005 Nvidia Corp. Detecting array... and the compuetr hangs. Ive ben told to disable RAID in the bios, this has had no effect. I have also tried ressetting the CMOS. Can anyone help plz? |

| 588323 | 2007-09-05 19:45:00 | Always check physical connections first. Is your hard drive on it's own IDE cable (the licorice-like one)? If so, is it on the right channel where it plugs into the motherboard? This is the channel that your motherboard manual says should be used for the master drive. Are your DVD drives connected in the same order that they were last time? ie: the same one at the end of the cable as before - and the same one in the middle? Try swapping them. Swap out the cables you are using for different ones. If the problem persists then you can be fairly sure the problem isn't the cables. Above all - change one thing at a time while you're troubleshooting and then try it. Hope this helps. |
