Also, unplug them and re-plug them again. Make sure the pins are lines up correctly. The ribbon-cable should have a 'stripe' going down one side. Make sure the stripe is on the same side on 'both ends' of the connection. Sounds like something is just barely not connected fully. Good Luck :-)

If your computer hangs or reboots while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This problem can be solved by uninstalling new softwares, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yk5zpr
