Hi everyone,
So I decided to buy a new pc recently and today finally everything arrived.
I built in the parts without issues and moved over 2 HDDs (2/4tb WD) and 2 SSDs from my old build into the new one.
Finally the magical moment of turning on the pc for the first time arrived ... and nothing happend. No fan movement, no LEDs turned on, nothing
After checking all the cables without results, i tried using the PSU from my previous build. That worked fine and allowed me to boot the pc. However in the Bios, the system only recognized the two SSDs and neither of the HDDs.
I turned off the pc, removed all hard drives and connected them to my laptop via an external drive adapter. Both SSDs worked fine, both HDDs did not make any sound or vibration and Windows didn't recognize them either.
So did the new PSU just fry both hard drives? It seems that no other parts were affected, the graphics card and cpu seem to work fine, so does the mainboard. There were no smells, no smoke, nothing. The PC just did not do anything when the power button was pressed initially.
Anyone got an explanation what could have happened here?
My old PSU was a Corsair TX650M, the new one Enermax MaxTytan 800W. Both hard drives were barely older than a year.
Best,
Marcel
