Donal-Lally Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hey guys, first time post-er, not sure if this is the right place but here goes I built a pc about 4-5 months ago and I've had this problem since the beginning and I've narrowed it down to 2 possibilities (took a while due to college). Just want to ask if anyone has had or heard of this problem and any fixes that might work PC is assembled and working, OS is installed on my SSD (works fine), however the Harddrive doesnt work when connected (I've tried replacing it 3 times and still not working as well as tested it on other machines, the HD is dead each time), I believe it may be the power supply blowing the HD when its connected. Has anyone had this problem? Parts: Harddrive PSU Motherboard Possibility no.2 - it could be the motherboard (that's a different manufacturer and I'm contacting them aswell to see if they have had this problem) Thank you for reading and all help is much appreciated Donal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
