BIOS fails to recognize HDD post-PSU and motherboard modifications.
BIOS fails to recognize HDD post-PSU and motherboard modifications.
Hello, I'm facing a problem I can't resolve. My hard drive was functioning perfectly during my first build, but after upgrading, it stopped showing in the BIOS entirely. All other drives worked fine, and I'm worried the drive might have failed due to the upgrade. I switched from an Asrock B560 to a modular Corsair Z790 PG Lightning board. I've experimented with various SATA cables, ports, and BIOS settings, but nothing seems to help. It's frustrating—I feel like it might be dead now. Could anyone offer advice or solutions? Thank you.
It's not typical for an HDD to fail this way, though I've noticed some users reporting a broken tab allowing SATA and power cables to be connected upside down. Please verify all connections are secure. Could you confirm whether the platters start rotating when the PC is powered on?
Power appears to be coming on. I’d consider testing it in another setup.
I've tested various SATA cables and ports, but nothing works. Yet, when paired with other drives, everything functions properly. Might the power supply unit be the issue?
Ugh, I tried going back to my previous setup but it didn’t work. Please let me know it’s alive again. All this was about upgrading the system.
