Hello

What size was your previous HDD?

Hopefully some of our members will chime in soon.

Also I made an error on the power supply,it is 850 watt supply. The previouse hard drive
was also 1tb.

Hi @paul190 and welcome to PCHF

I see that you replaced the HD, but did you replace the SATA cable too? Sometimes it’s just a bad SATA cable that is the issue Also double and triple-check to make sure all connections are secure, tight, and clean. Is your BIOS up-to date as well? Have you tried restoring settings to default to rule out bad BIOS settings?

If a new or spare SATA cable (one that you can verify works) still says the HD can’t be seen and/or you’ve done all the above, it may very well by the motherboard that’s the problem.

Hi,jmarket.Yes I did try different sata cables,& ports.Have not tried default bios though,will today.Thank you
for your reply.

[paul190]

Tried default BIOS,no luck there. Every thing else on the board seems o.k.

Saw post about ps creating same problem,I’ll check that out.Been looking around for new mb, if needed
though as I want to keep my i7 2600k cpu& 32g ram.Socket lga 1155 hard to find mb that is equal to
mine.

[paul190]

Found this mb,intel BLKDZ68DB w/ Z68 chip set.It does not have as many features as mine,but at least
it will accept cpu & ram.Any thoughts on INTEL boards,good or bad? Thanks for the input all.

[jmarket]

There’s nothing wrong with Intel MBs

[paul190]
