The fans were powered on SATA and I was plugging the drives into the same sata cable as the fans. The computer is working again. I'll try using another sata cable to run the other drives this time.

It's been a little while. I've tested a new drive in the computer. Plugging in a Samsung 870 QVO caused the computer to crash. Now it doesn't boot most of the time when I try starting it. I think all of the drives are working just fine but there is a problem with the computer. I've been checking the specifications info and apparently the fans are all off. I didn't even notice but the fans haven't been running for a little while.

Do I need to have linux to do this? Edit: I don't have a linux computer, my desktop is windows

Okay I'll try my best

I'll see if my friend knows how to do that

I was going to do that today, but the computer doesn't load into windows anymore. It just goes to the motherboard settings menu.

Original message: New: I tried connecting another internal SATA device to my computer and it wont detect the new device. Recently, attempting to connect a brand new sata device causes the computer to crash. Booting after a crash it sometimes does not post, but may post after showing an error screen saying the system has failed to boot. It will load into the operating system, load to desktop but functions poorly ( low desktop FPS ) which is an entirely new issue. Restarting the computer usually results in windows reporting an error, or the computer failing to post several times. My specs are: Windows 10 home 64 bit American Megatrends International, LLC. 2.07, 10/6/2022 13th Gen intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900KS, 3200MHZ, 24 Core(s), 32 Logical Processor(s) 2x16GB G.Skill trident Z5 RGB Series (intel XMP) DDR5 z790 steel legend wifi 1080Ti Duke (B0722YBZGK) GPU WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD (wds100t3x0c-00sjg0) Boot drive EVGA Supernova 1600 T2 The old drives were Seagate 2TB FireCuda Solid State Hybrid Drive (ST2000DX002) I'm going to leave the computer completely off for now. Solution: The computer was rebuilt with the 3 radiator fans and 2 Sata drives connected to the same Sata power cable. With someone's direction I divorced the sata cable powering the fans from the sata for the drives. The Hybrid drives are working fine now, and I added 2 more SSDs to the computer and it works perfectly fine now. I'm glad I didn't waste a bunch of time scanning hard drives and unnecessarily rebuilding the PC.

He ended up getting this laptop after all. It's just too bad it doesn't come with an Ethernet port

I'm know he wants to spend as little as possible but I convinced him for 1200

Small enough to fit into a backpack? I don't think it's really something he minds so any size

Budget (including currency): 1200 USD or Less Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Nier Automota, Conan Exiles, Overwatch, Stardew Valley, EMULATORS FOR SNES AND 64, probably some light editing for profile pictures, youtube, Wikipedia, and tons of READING. Other details 1080p minimum, 60hz Minimum. ( Because his last laptop was 60 fps ) Details: Tl;Dr My friend wants a new computer for Nier Automota since his last one died Any help is appreciated. Thank you
