I just put together my machine last night with an ocz RevoDrive. I started with just the revo and everything works perfectly. After adding my old 64gb SSD and figuring out there was a harddrive order in the bios, that worked fine too. The issue was this left my with 180gb of storage, so I added a 500gb sata drive.
Now it won't even boot. Basically, once I plug in the sata connection, to any port sata 3 or sata 2, it powers on for about 15 seconds with no video output, restarts itself and stays blank with no beeps either time from the pc speaker and the cpu q_led stays on.
Now I have tried two separate drives, one empty 350gb and the somewhat filled 500gb drive, both in separate slots with separate cables and both cause this same thing. After this happens, I need to turn off my power supply for 30 seconds or so, unplug the drive and then start it to get it to boot again.
When it is only the pci raid ssd and the one sata ssd (on a sata 2 port), and my dvd drive, everything works fine and I can access every drive so the sata controller does work. Any ideas of what is causing this, or how I can get more information about why it is failing?
