Hm, that might be a clue...
1) Make sure the ribbon cables are plugged in tight to the drive(s) and the mother board..
2) Make sure none of the 40 or 80 wires in the ribbon cable are visibly broken where they go into one of the 3 plugs.
3) Make sure the three wire power cables are plugged in tight (to everything, not just the drives).
4) Make sure the video card is properly seated. (Yes, I did that once. But I didn't even get a cursor.)
