I am putting together a small micro atx build consisting of the following.
MSI H61M-P32 motherboard
Intel G2030 3 ghz cpu
2 gb of DDR3 ram
EVGA GTX 650
80 gb hard drve
lg cd/dvd drive
PCI-E to usb 2.0 card
Here is my issues, when i hook up just the mobo with the video card the computer will turn on and run fine till its gets to the point where it doesnt detect a hdd and cant move forward. However when i plug power into anything else (hdd, cd drive, pci-e card) the computer wont turn on or boot, the fans just spin for a sec then stop. I know its not a sata problem as it does this with or without sata cables attached to the drives. Its simply when i apply power to the drives it does this.
I ruled out it being a power supply issue as i tried 3 different power supplies, a 385 watt, a 430 watt, and finally an 850 watt.
Any ideas before i call msi to RMA the board?
Im banging my head against a wall trying to figure this out.
