What M/B are you using ??

I recently had the same problem with my 5x 5241E drive

I upgraded my Motherboard to a ABIT BE6 V2 and for some strange reason the
DVD drive stopped any Plug play devices from working PCI and USB giving my
the age old blue screen ?? strange, to solve this i moved the DVD onto the
ATA66 controller on the M/B witch sorted everything out :)

Anyone else had this ???
