I am currently experiencing two problems after recently changing cases and reformatting. First of all my CDRW on the secondary master ide cable, set as a master correctly, will randomly not work in bios either not dectecting it or giving me this error
Secondary Master not ATAPI compatible
my CDRW always works if i reset my bios with the jumpers

and an another problem just as annoying...
My computer basically wont reboot. When i try to reboot, my monitor light will go orange and not go green 'synch'ing up with what ever and booting into bios

I always have to unplug my power source from the back, turn off the power surge and wait 2 minutes plug everything back in and then power up

I just remounted my motherboard and used jumpers its very aggrivating :P

please help me
