Success!
Did you know that SATA power cables are not standardized?
I certainly would have missed that one on the quiz.
Once I unwound the old Seasonic cables and replaced them with the new EVGA cables, everything worked fine.
Thanks for the help.]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2022 01:43:14 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24743&PID=100605&title=z77-extreme4-problem#100605 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24743&PID=100602&title=z77-extreme4-problem#100602 Author: Xaltar

Replace your SATA cables. I have had quite a few go bad on me and they can cause
the system to behave as you describe. They could have been damaged when the old
PSU blew. If that doesn't help then your SATA ports could be damaged. If so you
can try connecting your drives to different SATA ports. If all the ports are dead
you can always get a PCIe x1 SATA controller card and use that for your drives
instead.

Good luck.]]> Sun, 17 Jul 2022 15:24:08 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24743&PID=100602&title=z77-extreme4-problem#100602 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24743&PID=100598&title=z77-extreme4-problem#100598 Author: Easy

My power supply recently went bad so I bought a new one.
The new power supply didn't work.
After playing with it a while I found that the power supply would work if no drives were plugged in. I thought the power supply must be bad so I got another one.

Same problem. I'm now thinking there must be something wrong with the motherboard.
As soon as a drive is detected, it shut everything down.

Is there any hope for this motherboard?????]]> Sun, 17 Jul 2022 05:30:30 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24743&PID=100598&title=z77-extreme4-problem#100598
