Power Problem?

On my other computer i switched my harddrive (master)and when i turn it on no power gets to the drive but when i remove the ribbon (not the power supply) the harddrive starts. The computer screen says "no signal dectected" then goes into standby. When it is like this i try to open my cd rom drive and it doesnt open but when i remove the ribbon and open it, it opens. Could the ribbons be stopping the power? Could my motherboard have a problem recieving from them and not supply power?

Please help and thanks
