I tried to install the LG Multi DVD Writer (model : GH24NSD1) to my (up until now perfectly working) desktop. I turned my computer off, unplugged the PSU, plugged the DVD drive to the power supply and motherboard, plugged back in the PSU and tried booting. At first I obtained no video output (i.e. monitor was getting no signal) and I obtained two short beeps from the motherboard.
I tried unplugging the DVD drive to check if I did something wrong. Now it's stuck in a reboot loop and I do get signal to the monitor but it only gives it a black screen (from the boot until the next reboot, the only signal the monitor gets is a black screen ; no keyboard key allows me to access any menu whatsoever), whether the DVD drive is plugged in or not. It takes about 15-30 seconds between the boot and the autoreboot. The only difference when the DVD drive is plugged in is that I get those two beeps but otherwise the reboot loop is happening.
Here are my specs :
- CPU - i7 6700k LGA1151
- GPU - NVidia GTX 970
- Motherboard - z170a Gigabyte
- RAM - 2× DDR4 8Gb sticks for 16Gb total
- Power supply - Thermaltake Paris 650W 80 Plus Gold
- SSD : 500GB Samsung EVO
I am using Ubuntu 16.04 as my OS. Because of an unrelated problem I had before, I am booting with the "quiet splash" option removed.
