Hello,
I just put an SSD in my Asus laptop in the place of the old HDD and installed Windows 10 on it. It was all working fine until I put the old HDD in the place of the cdrom drive. What happens then is that the laptop does not shut down, restart or go to sleep properly. In partuclar the screen goes black but the laptop is still working.
The only error in the logs that seemed to be related is: "The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: cdrom". However, I imagine this happens when the computer turns on. Morever I changed the startup state of the related registry to Manual and this particular error did not appear in the logs anymore but my main problem persisted.
I also tried installing Windows 7, but it had the same effect. Removing the HDD and putting the cd drive back removes the problem so it is definitely something to do with that. I still have the windows installation on my old drive, but doubt that this is causing the problem.
I would really appreciate it if somebody suggests what the problem might be or if I have missed something.
