After installing a new harddrive into my computer, I turned it on to see that the monitor will not display anything, if I plug in my other old harddrive again it will work perfectly fine, i've tried a 2 monitors and same result, i've tried plugging it into the cpu hdmi slot and both graphics cards slots ( have 2 gpu's) and neither will display anything, all help appreciated. (haven't been able to enter bios for a while, goes to a black screen after i press delete or f2 to enter the bios)
 
Hi there Mike_213,

This is a strange one. :)

Is this a secondary drive? If it is a primary one, you need to install OS.
What are the characteristics of both drives?

Some things you can do:
- Attach the new drive with different cables to another SATA port. If you can attach it to another system, you will be sure if the issue is HDD related or there is something wrong with your system.
- Go to your MOBO's website and update SATA drivers.
- What are your system specs?

Let me know how this goes,
D_Know_WD :)
