Wierd... power...?

[Darkseasons]

Ok so one day I go to turn on my computer and it just sits there the power comes on and everything but there's no lights and the HD isn't spinning. So I opened my computer and went through some diagnostics and found that when I plug the IDE cables into my drives they recieve no power(don't spin). However, when I unplug the IDE cables and just have the direct power from the power supply going to the drives they work.. everything else works(cpu fan, case fan, vid card GPU fan). I'm thinking that this is a motherboard issue.. so any ideas would be much appreciated, thank you.

Hi, I am having problems with my PC, after 2 days with my PC powered off, when I tried to power up, all the lights come on to all the devices ... I have 2 CD-Roms(both are burners), 3 HDDs(2 SATA, 1 IDE), 2 512k of Ram, Intel 2.4C 800 CPU, Video Card, Sound Card, Wireless card, TV tuner, and 420 Watts PS, the case has 8 Fans connected. I built this PC myself, but this seems an on going problem. It only happens when my PC is turned off for a day or two, and when I try to power up, its seems the system is hanging. All the power lights are on, the HDD lights are on but I don't hear them spin, and I don't get the POST, nor any signal to the monitor to show anything at all. But when I disconnected all the devices and left only the CPU, videocard and ram in, the lights come on but no signal showing on the monitor. When I connected at least the 2 SATA HDDs, I get the POST and I can boot to CMOS, and OS. I am not sure why this keeps happening, I tested all the cards, and CD-Roms, and they seem to work fine. I am wondering if its the power supply or the Mobo? I purchased this mobo from ASUS, the P4C800-E Delux, so I don't know if its one of the chips. It would be kinda sad to know if its the mobo because it was a costly purchase. I was thinking of try getting a Power supply tester. Any ideas would be helpful, I've already tested the PC with a different monitor, reseated the CPU, RAM, and reconnected the devices and everything will work fine until I shutdown and don't use this PC for a couple of days. Really wierd.
