Recently my computer has stopped recognizing some of my hard drives. C drive SSD and one internal works fine. About three months ago my second internal and two external hard drives stopped working. i just purchased and installed a new WD drive and the computer recognized it for a minute or so and then it disappeared. i can use my WD passport and small Toshiba with no problems. My daughter had an external that I plugged into mine and it was good for about 5 minutes and then died. All the drives in question will not work on other computers i have.
Im stumped. time for a new motherboard ?
