I built a new computer a few months back and everything seemed fine for awhile. Then a couple weeks ago my DVD drive tray started popping out whenever I would turn on the computer as well as when Windows XP would load. Just the other day I tried putting a disk in the drive and realized that it can't read anything at all. Any disk I put in shows up blank like nothing is in the drive.
Now at one time the drive definitely worked with the computer, so something has gone awry since then. I'm pretty sure the drive itself is fine. I tried swapping out the drive for another one and had the same exact issue. I've tried all sorts of other things like changing BIOS settings, installing/uninstalling drivers, swapping out drive cables, etc. and nothing has helped.
For the last day or so I've been thinking it might be an issue having something to do with the Marvell RAID drivers that somehow got installed and WinXP keeps trying to use and the fact that the IDE DVD drive is getting recognized as a SCSI drive in Device Manager. But now I'm wondering if its maybe a hardware problem. I can't even boot to a CD from after POSTing--which means it's not a Windows driver issue, right? I hope I didn't somehow fry the IDE controller on the motherboard whilst overclocking the CPU.
Symptoms:
-Initially the CD drive tray was popping out (no longer happening).
-Drive shows up blank/fails to read/write disks
-Windows XP takes 3 times as long to start up (most likely searching for drive)
-Getting errors in the Windows Event Log - "The device, \Device\Scsi\mv61xx1, did not respond within the timeout period."
-Shows up as SCSI drive in Device Manager
Computer Specs:
ASUS P5Q-PRO P45 mobo
Intel E8400 @ 3.6Ghz
OCZ PC1000 4gb
DVD-RW - BenQ DW1620
IDE Controller - Marvell 88SE61xx
Windows XP SP3
