Hello,
I had to install a new PSU (upgrade to 525W from 300W) so the computer could support a new video card. The computer is receiving power (all fans and motherboard light are on), but I get the boot disk error when I try to start it up. I go into BIOS and my BDDVD device is listed, but the hard drive isn't. I tried putting in the old PSU to see if there was a compatibility error, and while the computer gets power, I get the same boot error. The hard drive seems to be completely inactive (it's not doing it's typical whirring). I've been working on this for about 7 hours now, checking and re-checking wires. My guess is either there's an essential wire I don't have connected (which from what I've been able to tell, isn't the case) or the new PSU fried my HDD.
Hopefully, one of you suggests something different.
