Just updated drivers for sound, video and bios. Rebooted, everything was fine. Turned computer off and unplugged it to mount hard drive. Now it won't power on.

What the heck!?

Make sure the ribbon cable on the new HDD is not plugged in backwards. Make sure you have both jumpers on the drives set right. One should be master and the other should be slave, or they both can be set to CS (cable select).
