I have a problem.
My system is powered off when i insert disk on my drive. Some time it working.
I replaced the drive but same problem.
Will it be a SMBS problem? What i have to check?
Edited:
Turned off : When disc is inserted system dies (i.e Totally powered off) I cant powered on again. I have to unplug the main cables and i again i have to connect to get restart.

The same thing happened to me. Apparently my PSU (power supply unit) was faulty; after replacing it, the problem went away. Try borrowing a PSU from a friend and try it out; it might just help you solve your problem.

Perhaps he can first see if it's just the cable going to the disk drive? – Ivo Flipse – 2010-01-07T09:58:23.063
This does sound like a power issue like the power supply can't handle the energy draw from the disk drive. That being said, the normal power draw of a working floppy drive is next to nothing. There is the possibility that something failed with the drive and is shorting out. That could cause a sudden increase in voltage draw from the disk. How old is the drive and do you have a known good spare you can swap it with? Depending on what you are doing, you might want to grab a USB disk drive so it doesn't have a direct connection to the power supply. – Doltknuckle – 2010-01-12T21:09:47.113

What sort of power off? Does it just die? Start shutting down normally? Does it restart after? – Phoshi – 2010-01-07T09:11:00.040
If you mean it how you write it then: Turn your system on before inserting a disk. – Felix – 2010-01-07T09:17:27.047
I have edited the post please refer. – sathish – 2010-01-07T09:24:22.087
Mac or PC? You manage to call it a 'system' all through your question rather than refering to it as a PC or Mac. – Connor W – 2010-01-07T11:07:29.197
I am refering to PC – sathish – 2010-01-08T04:17:52.327
