Sata drive issues

[Zeratul787]

Recently I changed out my psu and graphics card for brand new ones. Now whenever I start up my computer, it won't recognized any of my old or new hard drives that I put in. Since then I've changed out the psu and motherboard and reverted back to my old graphics card and my computer still will not recognize my hard drives for some reason.

Did you connect the sata power and data cables?? Doesnt sound like it

 

[Zeratul787]

I've connected them both, we've been having this issue for quite abit now. I believe we've tried replacing the sata cables, I'll have to double check on the power cable once more. Its possible I missed something.

Are you using sata cables (from the PSU) or a molex to sata adapter? Those molex adapters are pretty flimsy and can fall out at the wrong time !

 

[Zeratul787]

No I'm not using the Molex ones, we've changed out the sata cables but I don't believe we've tried changing out the power cable for the HDD...might try that and give it a go when I'm able to pick one up.

I'll post on here as soon as I know anything or get it fixed.

We've changed out both the sata and power cables now and still nothing...then only things we haven't replaced is the motherboard and RAM at this point...but it was my previous motherboard before this one that was having the same issue.

See if theres a BIOS update for it. That may fix it
