I have just built a system with a Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3v motherboard, an i3-2100 pro and 4gb ram. I built it as a second hackingtosh to experiment with installs before applying to my main hackingtosh system. However at the moment it is temporarily running Win 8.1 whilst I upgrade my workshop "workhorse" to a new CPU and Win 8.1
I have just purchased a front panel media bay from ebay here and installed it. However I have had some strange issues.
When first installed and connected all the leads to the motherboard the system would not boot. I therefore removed all the motherboard connections and attached one at a time. The system now boots but the system case light(Lian-Li case with front LEDS) and Hard drive lights stay on permanently even when the machine is powered down.
Both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports work and memory sticks or devices plugged in to them are accessed fine. I have not had time to try eSata or Sata yet but the SD card slot is not recognising any cards inserted and the red light (which I assume is an access light and should flash as data is accessed) stay on permanently.
The problem is reduced if I unplug the USB 3.0 connection from the motherboard. The chassis light and hard drive light go off and operate as normal.
I have checked and double checked the connections but they can only go onto the board one way I assume there is therefore a fault with the USB 3.0 connectors or the panels is in some way incompatible with this motherboard?
