Hello.
Yesterday I was happy as I was finally able to buy a new PC.
So I got the following:
Gigabyte B75
4GB Ram Kingston HyperX
i5 3470
1 TB WD 7200RPM
500 Watt Gigabyte Powerrock
So I went and plugged everything in. When all was connected (even my old GT 520) I went ahead and started the PC, but I smelt some burnt smoke.coming from the PCB connector. That' was weird. I kept looking around and making sure everything was neat and all. Still I smelt smoke when I turned on the PC, coming from the PCB connector. the worst thing that happened was that it just smoked for more then 3 seconds. that's it. So I got my old PSU (it's basically a chinese one.) I plugged in my old PSU and everything. But nothing, happened when I plugged it in and all.
So right then there I was scared... So I took everything out and plugged my old GPU back into my old PC. and I also took the 1TB.
The GPU is working fine, which is a great sign. The 1 TB HDD, when I first plugged it in, the motherboard detected it and it said in Windows 7 that it was installing it's drivers. But I restarted the PC, and the HDD is nowhere to be found on Windows 7, but how ever it's shown that it is connected by the motherboard.
So, what could have happened? I'm going to take it to a shop so he could plug it in for me, cause clearly I'm an idiot.
