im assuming you said hot...and check to see if you pluged in the power connector wrong or in the wrong spot in your modular psu if you got one...or if you got a molex to sata adapter...if you plugged in the molex cable wrong....that might short out the drive...

Well.. for 2 x  660Ti's  it is a little low..when the min for 1 is 450 watt's...Did the magic smoke escape from your DVD..while it was plugged into a SATA port..?

Your best effort is the easiest thing to give to someone else..

Can you remove one of the 660 ti's and see how the system boots...btw..do not plug in your DVD..just your boot drive..

How do you have it set up..is it SATA with SATA PWR connectors..or do you have it powered by a 4 pin Molex..? It sounds like it maybe either a bad DVD ..or that you have a bad power cable going into it..

yh i agree it sound like a bad DVD drive, if you got a spare computer to create a USB windows OS to use to install windows for now.

i had  it setup with molex to sata power then i used a sata pwr connector both gave me the same thing..i dont think its a bad DVD cause i bought two and they both did the same thing...
