So I have a small problem.
PC specs:
MSI M5 Z170
i7 6700k
650watt PSU - Corsair
EVGA 980 Ti
256gb SSD
I have 3 other HDD's which I want to use (one of which is an SSD)
Since I keep running out of space for all the new games (40+ gb ones) for my single 250gb SSD
So I decided to try installing of the 3 I had, first one was my old 1tb one.. nope. The mobo FLASHES once when I press the power button, won't turn on.
I unplug it, and computer turns on perfectly fine.
I tried the SSD, mobo flashes once and turns off.
Same with the BRAND new 2tb I got a while ago, computer powers on for half a second, mobo flashes and powers off.
I've sort of gotten it pinned down, it's not the SATA cable coming from the motherboard, but the SATA cable coming from the PSU that seems like it causes the issue (but what do I know). I'm currently looking for a different SATA cable to try and power the HDD but nothing yet, otherwise my computer works perfectly fine.
(although lately I've been getting really bad memory leak since upgrading to Windows 10... like crippling performance with Memory usage going to 99% when downloading large games, even though I have like 15-20gb left over AFTER game would be downloaded)
Any help would be appreciated!
