Thanks, I did go into Computer Management and check the drive letters.
I also unloaded the drivers a million times. Actual count. And
rebooted after each one. This is the first time that I ever had this
much trouble. I was really getting ready to punt it through the
window. I kept trying the Microsoft drivers, the ASUS drivers, and the
nVidia drivers. Even plugged in a spare Lite-On CD burner as slave.
That wouldn't work either.

There was something in the event viewer about being unable to load
three device drivers amd by their names they were clearly related to
the problem. Then I got the idea to actually try System Restore and it
worked. So I'm back to the original situation. Although it hasn't
rebooted lately.

Here's something funny though. As I went to unplug the DVD, I noticed
that the top of the case was REALLY hot. So was the power supply. And
it is a fancy sucker of a power supply, one of the Fortrons or
something like that, with a knob to adjust fan speed and a pretty blue
light. Anyway, the fan was stopped. Just wouldn't turn. I tried it
several times and just killed the power each time when it just sat
there. I had a spare generic 450 PSU and swapped it, and all was well.
At least with the PSU. I wonder if the heat was causing other
problems? Could be I guess.
