I just bought an EVGA nForce 680i SLI NVIDIA Socket 775 ATX motherboard

[madtownidiot]

I just installed one and can't get bios to recognize either of my HDs. I have two Seagate 500gb hd that worked fine before I replaced the motherboard and upgrade to a core 2 processor. Any suggestions? I don't have the xtra putrid cd.

They're SATA drives. It turned out I didn't have them connected to the power supply

Gotta have something to do in my spare time

I used to build cars for fun. Computers are cheaper and much less frustrating

hmmm talking about ur rig.. with what you got in your rig i'm supprised you dont have a 8800gtx or even a 2

Actually I just ordered one. Was going to go with something cheaper but I think it will be worth it.

Do you mean the BIOS wont recognize them, or that Windows wont start?

Because after switching motherboards and processors, sometimes you need to do a clean install of Windows because it can get messed up.
