just got a brand new Asus p8z68-v Pro motherboard. I have a 120GB SSD which is my boot drive with Win 7 x64. And I have 2 HDDs for storage. a 700GB WD Black Caviar and a 1TB WD Green Caviar drive, both Sata. Everything works great except for one issue. I have a 1 TB Western Digital Green Caviar Sata Hard Drive (model# WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1) , for some reason the motherboard wont boot past the ASUS logo when this hard drive is attached. I have it plugged in to the light blue SATA 3GB port. But what is even more odd is that when I detach the WD green, the computer boots fine into windows and then I reattach the HD while in windows and it works perfect! So i know the drive is not faulty cause i ran diagnostics on it while in windows and it passed with flying colors. For some reason when this drive is attached before a boot, it just makes my mobo hang at the logo screen, it freezes - cant go into bios, dont get any error messages. Ive made sure all SATA ports are enabled, its in AHCI mode - my WD 700 GB black HDD has no problems and it boots up fine and is detected in the bios.
I did flash the board to the latest bios to see if that would solve the issue and it did not
Anyone have any ideas? thanks
