I'll try to make this quick. I just assembled a new computer with the following parts:
-MSI K8N Neo4-F Motherboard
-AMD64 3200+ Venice
-Kingston ValueRAM 512x2 PC3200
-MSI nVidia 6600GT PCIe
-Antec TruePower 430
-Hitatchi 7200rpm Deskstar 200GB (IDE1/Master)
-Samsung SM332-B (IDE1/Slave) DVD/CDRW Combo
-WinXP Pro/SP2
The problem is, it doesn't seem to like my optical drive. I pulled this combo drive from an older machine and it was working fine on that, so I don't think it's the drive itself. When I originally plugged it in, I had it on IDE2/Master. It installed Windows fine, and I was able to update some drivers with it (not the SW IDE). But after a power down and turn on, inserting a CD would produce the following error:
MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
STOP 0x0000009c (0c00000004, 0x80545FF0, 0xB2000000, 0X00070F0F)
Because everything else is working fine, and it only occurs when I stick a CD in, I'm assuming it's the CD drive causing the errors. So I moved the drive to IDE2/Slave and it works. Kind of. It can read and write CDs, but it can't read DVDs. I'll stick a DVD in and nothing will happen. The light blinks, it spins, and nothing. Windows and other programs don't recognize there's a disk in there. I also tried putting an entirely different CDRW drive on IDE2/Master, and that worked, but it made Windows take an extra 30 seconds to boot. I'm not sure if the IDE2 port is toast or what.
Any ideas for what I should do? Do I need another drive? Does anyone have this board and know a specific model that works? I'm trying to avoid ordering a new drive only to have the same problems.
I should also mention that I ran Memtest for almost 3 hours and it did 7 passes without any errors, and that SpeedFan reports all normal temps and voltages.
