Hi All, Apologies if this has been answered but I have searched throughout the site and can't find anyone with a similar situation.
I have recently upgraded my desktop tower with a new Motherboard [Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro Intel Z390 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard], CPU [ntel Core i9-9900K 3.6GHz (Coffee Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor] and RAM [Kingston HyperX Predator 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 PC4-21300C13 2666MHz Quad Channel Kit]. Since this upgrade I am able to boot fine with my 2 SSD's working as expected, however I can't get my Toshiba 1TB internal HDD to work. During startup I can't hear it spin up and both BIOS and Windows can't detect it.
Interesting side note here is that when building, I initially forgot to plug the power into the CPU on the motherboard, when I attempted to start it I heard the HDD spin up but of course the machine would not start. Since plugging the CPU in, it hangs for a really long time on the motherboard splash screen and the motherboard itself shows a red light against the boot LED, but then loads windows, if I take the HDD out completely, it boots instantly.
This behaviour makes me think it's trying to use the HDD but can't. It was working without issue before the build and I have tried switching SATA cables, ports and power supply cables also and nothing works.
Can anyone advise how I can get this up and running? Apologies if I missed anything out and if more info is needed please let me know
Many Thanks
