SSD plugged = Computer starts. Connect either of my HDDs = Computer doesn't even BIOS.

I think the title gives you just about as much info as i've got, sorry.. if you guys can help me out, that'd be great. If you need any more details, let me know.

Edit: Lights are on, fans are going. & after taking my GPU out, to put the SSD/HDDs into different ports (they were random before, now in 1,2,3) ... not even the SSD will boot...

what make and model is your power supply

 

[LinxGaming]

Corsair VS650. I've never had any issues with it for the last 3-4 years...

Update: SSD boots - tried to plug in my main HDD, with not even BIOS. (same lights and fans though).

I suspect your VS650 needs to be replaced.

What makes you say that?

I've also had this issue in the past.. But after unplugging my 2 other HDDs, booting from my SSD, then reconnecting my HHDs it would work again.

Thanks for your post

well if you know the answer then you don't need my help then
keep unplugging your hdds and plugging them back on, until your power supply decides to spike and fry the drives on its way out... cheers

I guess it's not your help I need then. I don't need your bullshit sarcasm.

All I wanted was the reasoning for your given solution. Especially considering my PC just started working like normal again (surprisingly). I don't really love the idea of buying another PSU for no reason.

I fail to see how the drives will fry with absolutely no power connected to them.

If you're not here to be cooperative, ah heck off.

look , its a tier 4 power supply well known for having crappy capacitor and slowly becoming an issue less than 2 years after purchase
cheer mate..
