I recently bought a 700W modular PSU, more specifically the Silverstone ST70F-PB, my old one was a non-mod 550W PSU from EVGA, so I decided to upgrade.
I hooked up all the correct cables, to make sure I done this I even followed a tutorial to make sure I got EVERYTHING right, heres the problem. The furthest I can get into my PC is the BIOS, my SSD shows up in the list of drives but my HDD does not, I've checked both SATA power and DATA cables on both, switched them around and everything no matter what I do the HDD is not recognized. I can't boot into windows, I just get sent in BIOS loop each time I try. I need help bad and I really don't want to have to pay some guy $50 just for him to fix it in 2 minutes.
All the things I've tried to remedy this:
Try different cables (PSU came with two copies of SATA cables)
Switched the SSDs and HDDs cables around including data cables
Made sure every single cable is securely plugged in
Reset BIOS to optimised default
Listened closely to my HDD to make sure its still alive and kicking, it is.
Broke down over it causing my mental health to become erratic and causing me major stress, that didn't work.
Literally everything I can think of, spent hours on the internet searching for an answer. Nothing.
If at the very least I can get into Windows, I think I know how I can get my HDD recognised, any and all help are appreciated.
Thank you an advanced.
