Post screenshot of device manager. Check if there any devices with yellow exclamation mark besides them.

What OS version you have? Windows 7 & above by default, the DVD drive is only seen in Windows Explorer when media is detected in it.
Do you see a file named cdrom.sys under c:\windows\system32\drivers folder?
does drive give any indication that it's powered on. Does it eject the tray when you press the eject button?
what happens when you insert a CD/DVD in it? does it endlessly spin with blinking LED indicator?
First recheck all power & sata cables from mobo to the drive. unplug and replug them firmly.
try system restore.

Connect the drive, to a different SATA port/cable.

make sure the power power cable of the dvd drive is properly connected.

change sata port and cable as suggested.

Also make sure you are using a good PSU.
