I put together a AMD 64 athlon CPU with a biostar motherboard N4SLI-A9
chipset/NVIDIA nForce4 CK8-04 SLI. I have the Radeon 9200 video card
with a Maxtor hard drive Diamond10. I have 2- 512MB DDR memory sticks.
I was using and old CD drive and CDRW drive from old computer. I was
able to load windows me with the XP upgrade. While loading drivers
however my older cd player was going out. I went and purchased a 16X
DVD writer from Toshiba. After installing the new DVD-RW/CD-RW player
plus keeping my CDRW along with it is when my problem started. Upon
trying to Boot I now have a blank screen (flat screen) that is
recieving power (checked cables, pins ect.). my fans and floppy have
power but both DVD and CRW DO NOT get power(no lights or do not run).
Lights all work on tower but shut off button in front now doesn't work,
must turn off tower from back. I have the jumpers in the correct
positions, checked all cables and plugs are in properly. Thought maybe
it was the new DVD player so went and exchanged for another new one but
am having same problem. My Rosewill tower came with it's own 400watt
power supply installed in it. I'm thinking maybe it is a power supply
problem????? Does anyone have a clue what's going on here? This is the
first time ever doing this and really could use some help... Thanks
