I recently bought this cyberpowerpc as my new rig from a friend. I decided to put the guts of the build in my former PC case cause I think it looks pretty tight (shout out phanteks) but I ran into some issues. I tested it prior to opening to make sure everything worked, but when I transferred cases the build wouldn't turn on. Fans would just spin for a sec then stop, PSU fan never spun, and although the case LED was still on indicating post was happening, I knew better and suspected a fried psu. After flicking the system on 3 or 4 times and re-plugging a few cables in an attempt to get it to post...it eventually stopped turning on at all. I unplugged everything and rebuilt from scratch using the same psu, and the result was a faint popping noise when I clicked my case power button followed by even fainter metallic whining. I assume it's shot so I used my old psu to run the rig. System posts fine now, only issue is after resetting cmos and bios a couple times while repairs were happening, the PC refuses to detect any sata devices. Everything else is working fine, but when I boot it tells me no bootable drive found and when I investigate the Sata controller (in ACHI since my hdd are compatible) it says that none are connected. I know for a fact the cables are working along with the hard drives. Is this common with cyber power pc's with pre-partitioned drives that have multiple layers of bios? The boards a gigabyte GA-z97x-sli running uefi dualbios. Any experienced builder have any tips?
