I am building a PC for my mums work. All is working fine apart from when I plug in the optical drive the PSU turns off. Ill put the spec below. Also when I plug in the optical without the 1TB drive in and turn on the pc the optical drive starts frying and melting the cable producing a dense white smoke.
What do you think is causing the problem? Is it a dodgy PSU? I have tried two different optical drives and have confirmed both work on a different PC.
Spec:
MOB: ASRock B85M Pro 4
HDD 1 (Boot drive): Seagate barracuda 80GB 7200RPM
HDD 2 (Storage): WD Caviar Blue 1TB 7200RPM
PSU: Corsair CX 430M
CPU: Intel i5 4690K quad core
Optical Drive: (from old pc) Samsung SH-222
No external Graphics Card.
Need to have the PC up and running by Wednesday so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
