Strange Problem with IDE. DVD and CD-RW drives not working at all.
Ok, I've ruled out the PSU, and everything else is working absolutely fine.
__________________My problem seems to be with the IDE connection on the MoBo. Basically if I hook up my DVD or CD drives up it doesn't work! What happens is while the computer is POSTing I can open and close the drive no problem, once it's doing POSTing, I can no long open it. However if I remove the IDE cable and just leave the power connected to the drive it opens and closes just fine. I've tried 2 different IDE cables, I suppose both cables could be bad but that seems pretty unlikely. Anyone have any ideas, or suggestions?

The drive doesn't work after posting. I can't even open it, it looks like the drive is dead, however I know it's not. Once the IDE cable is remove it opens and closes fine. Could I have a dead IDE Controller? I'm pretty baffled.
