[SOLVED] New GPU and PSU, Disk Read Error?

[kaivoria]

Replaced my PSU and GPU and PC started up fine, ran DDU and after restart im getting a Disk Read Error. Went into Bios and set the boot drive to my SSD but still getting the same error. Anyone know what the problem is? Everything started up and ran fine before running DDU, was I not suppose to run it after swapping cards? Thanks!

Try doing a hard reset of the bios.

Power off the unit, switch the PSU off and unplug the PSU cord from either the wall or the power supply.

Remove the motherboard CMOS battery for five minutes. During that five minutes, press the power button on the case for 30 seconds. After the five minutes is up, reinstall the CMOS battery making sure to insert it with the correct side up just as it came out.

Now, plug the power supply cable back in, switch the PSU back on and power up the system. It should display the POST screen and the options to enter CMOS/BIOS setup. Enter the bios setup program and reconfigure the boot settings for either the Windows boot manager or for legacy systems, the drive your OS is installed on if necessary.

Save settings and exit. If the system will POST and boot then you can move forward from there including going back into the bios and configuring any other custom settings you may need to configure such as Memory XMP profile settings, custom fan profile settings or other specific settings you may have previously had configured that were wiped out by resetting the CMOS.

If the system will not POST after resetting the CMOS, then there is a hardware problem of some kind or you have forgotten a connection somewhere. Double check that you have connected all of the power and SATA data connections to all connected drives, and even unplug and reconnect them.

Make sure you've connected any required 6 or 8 pin connections to your graphics card.

Double check that you have connected the 8 pin EPS CPU power connector to the motherboard. Try reseating your memory as well. Sometimes memory gets bumped around when you are working in the case and it doesn't take much to make it angry.

Don't move the memory, jump remove and reinstall it.

But don't do any of that until after you've tried doing the hard reset to the BIOS CMOS settings.
