[Pc_Support] No CD-ROM power, no POST?

[Jason Boxman]

So, I go to install my new 6600GT.  No go.

It boots up with corrupt graphics at the BIOS screen.

So, I start unplugging connectors to see if my PSU is too weak.

Well, after removing all my expansion cards and such, I discover the reason
it does nothing at power no, no beep, no POST, nothing, without a video card
installed, is because the CD-ROM is plugged into the motherboard, but the
power connector for the CD-ROM is not plugged in.

Eh?

That's the number one reason I absolutely had screwing around with my boxes.
 Something always goofs up.  Always.  And it seems it always costs me money.
 Sigh.

I'll have to try the 6600GT in my other AGP box and see if it works okay or
not.

Meanwhile, time to put my expansion cards back in, again.

Sigh.
