HIS Radeon 5770 showing Red LED - Can it be linked to HDD?
Hi,
I got a new SSD the other day, and didn't realise it didn't come with a SATA cable so i went and bought another one.
Now i plugged in my SSD with the sata cable and power connector and suddenly whenever i turned my computer on, it would go to the AMD graphic screen, then a red light would come on the graphics card and nothing would show (no signal)
So i took the SSD out and so only my HDD was plugged in, but now i get the same issue. I tried to take out the graphics card from the PCI-E slot and clean the heatsink + slot but to no avail.
There are 6 sata ports and previously it was in port 6 (me thinking it was the first one) and i moved it to sataport 1 and still the red light, and moved it back, same red light.
I changed the cable to my NEW one and my hdd PC booted up just fine, with no red light. I thought, oh great its working now, so i turned it off, took power cable out, turned off everythign and plugged in the SSD...RED LIGHT AGAIN!
Theres a cable that comes from the PSU that says SATA on it which has another branch off it with another SATA (which i used to plug into the ssd)
I know this is something to do with the hdd+ssd but i dont know what is causing it sometimes moving bits around get it to boot up fine, but only after many attempts which after restarting iget the same issues
Hope you can help me, it's stressing me out.
If you need any extra info please ask, i will try taking pictures
