The problem shows signs of not enough power, but before i rma my two year old motherboard i would like to consult the forum.

About half a year ago my optical drive stopped working so i just didnt think on it and used an external disk drive, now i have been using a regular western digital hard drive (7200) for the entire duration of my computers life, only recently upgrading to a 120 gb Samsung 850 ssd, hoping to use it to host my os and maybe a game or two, but when i plug both the hdd and the ssd into the power supply and press the power button, the fans spin around once and stop. I begin to worry and swap out the power supply (to a seasonic platinum 660w) and video card, the computer does the same thing so i switch back to my other power supply (Corsair CX750 watt) and unplug the hard drive, it then starts up with a longer boot for the first boot up after and everytime after it loads up faster. so i figured that when i would unplug the sata cables from my motherboard, it would start (unplugging all the other sata cables, optical drive, hdd) and it does, but now i have low storage, i swapped out storage because on my hdd, during heavy gameplay my computer would blue screen and cause me to have to restart completely, havent tested if it still does that with the ssd, will update on it though. so im not sure if it was the storage or the motherboard causing the blue screens but now i know that it's not a lack of power and i can only have one sata connection in at the time. Thank you in advanced
(tried to be as detailed as i could. also i ran the memtest86 on each stick of my ram and they all passed every test, i tested the video ram also and it passed, along with running the western digital health test on my old hard drive, providing 0 errors)
