The other day I had left my PC on overnight as I was installing a game off steam. Once I had woken, I noticed that my PSU (thermaltake 750W toughpower gold) had blown.
I went out and bought a new PSU (Corsair CS750M, which is also gold rating) as I'm getting another PC built for my mum, so I'll replace the psu under warranty and give it to mum for when she gets hers built.
When I put the PSU in, I realised that my old PSU blew my hdd and my blue ray player as well.
So my friend lent me his spare HDD and installed the OS on there for me as I had no disk drive, which worked fine on my PC.
I bought a new HDD and disk drive today and plugged them both in, leaving my mate's spare HDD in. The disk drive was working but the new HDD was not. So i had swapped the sata and power cables over from my mate's spare HDD to my new HDD drive and now all of a sudden both HDD don't work!
I unplugged the sata and power cables from my new disk drive to test both HDD with no success, but i plugged the disk drive back in and that still was working fine.
What the hell?!? Lol
Do I have just really bad of luck atm to have three HDDs die on me or is there something that I can do to fix this problem?

I connected the 2TB HDD via USB to SATA adapter & it works fine.
I just can't get the HDD to show up in the BIOS menu.
