I was having problems with my home built pc failing to startup. The fans would spin, stop, spin again and so on and never get to a post. So I fitted a new, better PSU. Upon reassembling, I now find my two mechanic hard drives are no longer recognised, even by the bios. The two SSDs are fine.
I tried every combination of SATA ports and data and power leads, even replaced my old PSU.
Neither drive feels like they are even spinning up. Disk Management and UEFI don't see them.
It seems odd that two drives would fail just because of replaced a PSU. Is it possible it is a mobo fault? It is an uptodate one only 15 months old.
Edit: I have since added a third mechanical hard drive on SATA and it is fine.
I also read elsewhere that I should not have used the sata power leads from my old modular PSU on the new one as the wiring may be different. This doesn't seem likely to me or does it? Anyway I only use the provided lead for the new mechanical drive.
