hey guys i have a Barracuda 7200.10 Ultra ATA/100 500-GB Hard Drive hooked up to my comp which is about 4yrs old and the hd itself was bought 7months ago. I have this as my primary and my old 40gb as the secondary. I installed a graphics card and a sound card a few days ago and since then the hd wont work.

If I have the HD connected to the comp, the comp will not turn on. When you hit the power button nothing happens. We tried setting the HD as a slave but that didnt work either. Then we discovered that if we disconnected the HD from the comp, then the comp would work.

I removed the seagate and am now using my old 40gb HD. Any idea what happen to my hard drive?
