Would over loading your system with stuff (I.E. 2 cd-roms, 2 hard drives etc.) cause your power supply to take out your floppy controller? Thanks in advance.

Um... I don't think it would be directly if it does. It may cause your PSU to not have adequate power to power your system though.

Floppy controllers do die, I've seen it happen on various boards in the past.

But while an overloaded PSU can cause all sorts of problems, killing the floppy controller isn't one of them imho.
 
Thank you for the feed back. It is an old mb = ASUS P5a, so I guess it was time for it to go out. Hope nothing else goes on it.

First thing i did was try another one. I even went out and bought a new one. Still the computer can no see the floppy drive.
