So i set up my gaming pc last month with just a samsung evo 860 250gb ssd, it was my boot drive until i tried installing a 1 tb seagta barracuda hard drive, there was no response although the hard drive was spinning, so i tried clearing cmos & use different sata port still no response..

Finally i decided to use another sata cable (data), i changed it while the pc was running (bad idea?) & boom suddenly my pc said "something went wrong so we have to restart your computer 🙁" then it restarted to my motherboard Bios, i exited but it took me to black screen telling me to set up boot device..

i restarted again & i realized that none of my drives were actually detected by motherboard not the f***ng hard drive neither my ssd although the cables are connected just fine..

Any help would be appreciated!
 
Solution
You don't change parts while the computer is on, because you risk blowing stuff up.
You probably screwed your mobo, lets hope it's still under warranty.
