Hi y'all,
A few days ago I bought age of empires 4 only to come to the realization that I didn't have enough ram to play it. I bought some new ram, one thing led to another, things escalated a bit and currently I'm replacing my mother board, tower, SSD, ram and CPU😅.
The components in the pc are as follows:
MSI b460m mortar motherboard
Intel I7 10700k cpu
Samsung M2 SSD 970evo 1TB
2 x16gb Corsair vengeance pro
From my old PC I took:
PSU 650 watts
MSI GTX 750ti GPU
Coolermaster hyper evo 212
Samsung 850 Evo SSD Sata 250 GB (containing my os)
1 TB HDD drive
Anyway, i installed my components with an antistatic wristband and booted up the PC. I entered the bios because I wanted to boot from the old SSD and saw that it wasn't connected. When I opened up the tower I realized I hadn't connected my SSD and HDD to the PSU.
When I connected it (the only thing I connected without my antistatic wristband) I had no HDMI signal anymore. I disconnected the drives, but still no signal. I disconnected the GPU and plugged the HDMI into the Mobo, but still no signal. I changed the HDMI cable and monitor but still no signal. I reset the CMOS battery, the ram and all the cables but no signal....
I even measured the voltage of the PSU which is looking fine. All the lights on the motherboard are on and all the fans are spinning. Could I have fried the motherboard just by plugging in the drives? I feel like it seems unlikely. I used these drives last week and they were working fine.
I did see in the motherboard manual that the first Sata gate cannot be used if a M2 SSD is inserted. I did use the first gate after which it stopped working, could this be the issue? I'm kind of at my wit's end and any help would be appreciated.
