Okay. I have a dell dimension desktop pc, which was in a custom built computer case. my computer and hardware were working fine. so i decided to switch cases. i installed everything sucessfully, but i realized that none of my hardware was working. when i thorougly examined the problem, i realized that when i disconnect my ide cables, my hardware recieves power (hardware such as hard drive, cd rom drives, ect., but as soon as i connect my ide cables, the power to my hardware goes out. i have no idea whats going on. my hardware works fine in my neighbors computer. but im having a major hardware crisis. please help.
summary: when my power supply and ide cables are connected, hardware fails to recieve power. when ide cable is disconnected, but power supply is still connected, hardware suddenly recives power. ???????????
