New dvd drive causes pc not to power on
Bit of an odd one, i have just purchased a LG Gh22ns50 Dvd-RW Sata drive, and once i connect the sata power cable to it my pc will not power on, clicking the external or internal power buttons does nothing, i have tried all the usual fixes, changed cables checked connections, updated the bios i eventually completely rebuilt the pc however if i connect the dvd drive the pc shuts down instantly and will not power back on till i disconnect the drive and than turn the power supply on and off.
However i can actually get the drive to work i have one of those internal hard drive readers that allows you to read hard drives via a multi adapter and then into usb, it has its own power and connects to my pc via a usb cable, if i plug the drive into this than not only does it power on but windows can read it fine. my other dvd drives are ide so i thought it might be something to do with the motherboard (Asus p6t) drivers but they seem up to date
anyone have any ideas why this is happening and a possible fix?
(my power supply is 1200w and is nowhere near capacity)
