My computer is an old poor PII 400, HP 6470Z, With 440ZX chip set.

Recently it has big problem with the IDE channels. :( Frequently it can not detect the second IDE channel at all, even the first one!
Even If I successfully boot up with BOTH IDE channels (4 devices) recognized, soon the computer will freeze and pop up a window says:

unsafe unplug device... then my 2 CD-ROMs are gone (2nd IDE) :|

Does anyone have same problem? I guess it is the motherboard. If anyone can help me make sure, I am gonna kick out 20 bucks for a new board maybe.
