    Blue screen if optical drive disconnected


    Hi there, I have just built a system running:
    Asus p8p67 motherboard
    Intel i5 2500k
    Ati 6850 graphics car
    Windows 7 ultimate x64
    8gb ddr3 1333

    My issue is, after removing my sata optical drive, the computer blue screens at windows loading screen and restarts. If I connect the optical drive back in, everything works fine.
    I have tested this several times and its always the same scenario.
    Both my sata3 hdd and normal sata optical drive are connected to the 6G/b ports on the motherboard.
    I have installed the latest videocard drivers and all my mboard drivers are installed.

    Does anyone know why my computer works fine with the optical drive connected but blue screens if i disconnect it?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you
