Hi,
Having endless problems lately.... anyway, due to an existing problem with a pc that wouldn't boot, I went out & bought a whole new setup basically. It was believed the problem was originally the power supply, but turned out to be the actual motherboard (i think). anyway....
ok so after buying a new mobo, cpu, power supply, new sata dvd-r (lack of ide on new mobo)..... set everything up as i've done numerous times in before. with the new power supply, i was short a psu cable, so i used one from my old enermax psu... didn't think this would be a problem...
long story short... i powered up, smelled something burning... turns out the psu cable from the enermax was cooking my dvd-r drive .
in addition, my hard drives (on a separate cable) get no juice, they aren't dead as I tested in another machine.
other than that pc boots up fine, get a post & can enter bios...
baffled, lost, confused.... thoughts? I imagine the dvd-r is dead now as well?
