mobo won't recognize drives

Comment:

While running Redhat Linux 9, my computer started to reboot intermitently one night. So, I turned it off, and the next morning I pushed the power button, but there was absolutely no response. So, I bought a new PSU, with the same result. Consequently, I put in an old MOBO (Azza, 600mhz duron), and, after switching keyboards, it finally started to boot. However, after checking the ram, it'd sometimes hang, or it'd check for IDE drives (I have two hdd, one DVD, and one CDRW drive) and find nothing. The same thing happened for the floppy drive. I've used this exact configuration of MOBO, CPU, etc. (except for PSU, 'cause my previous one is fried). Any suggesstions?

Maybe the hard drive(s) are too large for the old mobo to recognize.
