I have an old DFI 661FX-MLV MB (yeah, I know, old stuff, but it's for a 2nd pc for my country house).
It used to have a SATA HDD, but I lent it to someone and he burned it.
So I bought a new WD 500 GB SATA2 HDD, SATA of course.
Now my problem is that as soon as I connect the HDD's power to the PSU (through a molex-SATA adapter, as before) the pc refuses to even boot. In fact it starts and then keeps restarting, without even going to BIOS.
I'm at a loss since nothing else was changed.
The SATA data cable itself is irrelevant. Whether I connect it or not, makes no difference. But as soon as I connect the power...poof.
Any ideas?
