I am stumped here. Long story but I will try to shorten it. Bought a pci-e USB 3.0 hub a while back for my desktop (this card to be exact
https://amazon.com/gp/product/B00FPIMJEW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )
Plugged it in and plugged in the power (pci-e to SATA) for the card itself to the 1000W evga power supply. Turned the computer on...nothing. I mean a flash like it wanted to come on and then nothing... I turned it off, tried another port, nothing. Tried another cable, another slot on the power supply..... nothing. Unplug the card the computer boots up fine.
So I assumed I got a bad card. I ordered another card later (I got busy... bought this card
https://amazon.com/gp/product/B077GQGYTR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and tried the same thing...plug it in, plug the power supply in, nothing. Different power slots, different pci-e slots, different wiring...nothing.
Finally, I was waiting for the delivery of a new computer(here:
https://amazon.com/gp/product/B071WSGD9V/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )
I tried both cards (actually 3 cards since I had another one I found lying around...who knew!) and the power supply... all three with the same damn result. The new computer only has a 500w PSU BTW.
In short... what am I missing with the damn pci-e card that isn't plug and play basically. The seem to short out my mobo.... Is this a hardware issue, a BIOS issue, a USB issue...I am at a loss.
