Make sure you have the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard installed. Also, do any devices show up in device manager with either red X's by them or a yellow "!" by them?

Is it delta-L or the other one?

either way it is nForce 2

You might need a BIOS update if the DVD drive never worked with your system...
