I have three HDs at my computer: one with Windows system, other with Mac OS and another with Linux.
Yesterday, I attempted to format my other HD to install Kali Linux, and everything was successful, but when I restarted, it stuck to motherboard screen and didn't load up BIOS. It only loads when everything is disconnected and only the keyboard, the power and the HDMI are plugged. After that, I can connect step by step the mouse, and the other stuff without problem, but when I connect two HDs, It just stuck again and I can't even access BIOS, making me start again by just three things connected. Very weird, huh? After doing the process of connecting one thing at a time and not being stuck again, I can only boot directly by BIOS, it just don't follow the boot order and stuck again. Anyone can help me or at least say something that can help? Because I don't have hardware knowledge, and I would like if somebody can at least try to give me some help. Thanks. If you want more info or something doesn't make sense, ask me down below.
PS: there are some Ubuntu partitions on bios that didn't disappear after erasing its disk, still appearing there no matter if I disconnect the disk or not. Now I reinstalled Ubuntu system, they are still there and if I connect two HDDs it will stuck again, needing me to restart everything again.
PC specs:
Processor: i7 4790
Motherboard: H81M-CS/BR
RAM: 8GB
HDD: 3 hard drives, one with windows 10, another with Mac OS High Sierra, and the other with Ubuntu (now, after I formatted and deleted Kali Linux after everything went wrong).
Video Card: GeForce GTX 1050 ti
 
So you are attempting 4 bootable hard drives when the issue arose?? And it boots with 1 hard drive?? Are you using Grub??
No, 3 hard drives, but it only proceeds to boot if only one drive is connected, otherwise it stucks at motherboard screen. Even so, sometimes if one hdd is connected, it stucks too, is very random.
 
It think I am using grub, in Linux hdd, but the problem is not specifically with that but I think is some hardware issue out of hard drives, because doesn't matter whatever drive is connected, always sometime issue
 
Not exactly. Is not busy, but they can't find the solution, because they can't find where is the problem happening. Still waiting, with hope. Feeling a lot bad because of that
 
We cannot leave your thread open indefinitely I`m afraid so if we don`t hear back from you in a couple of days we will have to close the thread and reopen it should you need to return, just send one of us a PM if you do wish to reopen the thread.

NB: Have they tried swapping the power supply.
