After installing a new regular 500GB hard drive my PC is taking 3 attempts to start up.
- The first attempt is the fastest, as in, it powers off a few seconds after powering on and it doesn't even reach the bios screen.
- The second attempt it takes slightly longer before powering off.
- Then on the third attempt it doesn't power off but I can hear the fans slowing down for a second (which they didn't before)
I am worried for my PC, does this have any negative effects to my computer or to parts of it?
-- Specs
Intel i7 920 @ 2.67GHz
ASUS Rampage GENE II
MSI Radeon 6950 Twin Frozr II (Power Edition/OC)
4GB RAM (I don't know which brand, also I think one of the sticks is broken since I have 3 connected to my MOBO)
700W PSU (don't know which brand)
