hi. we have the same problem... unfortunately, i still have not solved my problem, may be we could share ideas instead..

history started with my video card.. which i assumed got damaged (short circuit or something..) when i tried to install a new HD as a slave drive, so i bought a new card... then my drive a: wont light up.. i tried a new drive a:, now it doesnt want to turn off... i tried checking if all have power (CDROM, HD, etc) ... everything seems to be connected in the right place, and is with power also, i even checked the RAM but i cnt seem to think of any other options ... haay... what have you tried so far...
