Athlon 2800
512mb ram
80gb 7,200rpm
Radeon 7000 32mb
DVD+RW
Push button......lights come on, fans spin, hard drive spins, but nothing happens. No video, no HD seek/read, and the DVD door won't open.
If I disconnect the IDE cable to the DVDRW, the door hiccups a few times, then eventually opens & will open consistently. If I plug the IDE cable back in, it won't do anything and when I remove the IDE cable again, it hiccups a few times again 'til it opens.
Everything looks EXCELLENT & computer's only a year old......(I built it for a buddy). I thought it was a video thing but I don't have an extra video card here at work & I'm not sure it ain't somethin' else? (Yes, I pulled Cmos battery, jumpered JP1, reseated EVERYTHING and all that. Nada).
