Hi guys,

I'm having trouble getting my computer to boot when a Sata powered device is connected.

I can get my computer to boot to the bios without any sata device e.g. Hard drives and DVD drives, but when I connect any of them to the psu the computer will no longer boot and the hd just beeps once.

Does this sound like a failed psu? I don't think it's the drives as I've tested with many known working drives.

Thanks,
Cedar

I'm using a corsair M4 SSD - I've checked and I am set to use ACHI.

The strange thing is I can't even get to the bios screen with drives I have validated in other machines.

If a drive is plugged into the psu and I start the machine it wont boot regardless of whether its plugged into the mother board but when i unplug the drive from the psu I'm then able to get to the bios.
