Any idea what the issue might be?

Sometimes, when I start up the computer, optical drive is not recognized. It also happens when I restart the computer.

Another issue is when I command the computer to restart, it fails to so, and the PC just like shut down instead of restart, which is what I want it.

It's really strange to me, and I would be really appreciated any help here in resolving these issues.

OS is newly installed.

It happens when the drive is actually connected. All cables are securely connected to MOBO and the drive. I don't know if it may be a software issue or hardware related though.
