Pc won't boot after installing 2nd drive

[RADEON_GUY]

So I wanted to get a 2nd drive in my pc. I hooked everything up, made sure all connections are OK and started the pc. The fans spin up for like 2 seconds and then turn off again and back on for 2 seconds again. After removing the drive the fans spin up normally but there's no beep or video output. Also, I can't turn the pc off by pressing the power button, only by turning the psu off

can't get to bios?

go to bios and make sure your windows drive is the #1 drive it boots to.

does your boot/bios screen show, probably an asus or samsung or msi logo or something

if it does your problem is with the bios, if it does not your problem indicates a failure to post which means you probably made some ram loose or the cpu or gpu, or you forgot one of their power connectors

this guy must be on vacation......?????????? 

 

if the second drive has an operating system installed on it, that could be a problem too.

Not really because windows 10 would ask you after the bootscreen which windows version you are wanting to load

drive A works and has a bootloader partiton

bios is set to boot off the bootloader on drive A

drive B is inserted

Drive B sees the computer is set to boot off drive A (without realising a windows install is on drive A)
Windows on drive B overwrites the bootloader on drive A so it can boot
trust me microsoft made a lot of bad things with bootloaders

with all due respect, BS!  it's what drive is being fought over as boot drive.

OP, what happens if you install the second drive at the desktop ( hot plug )..........then reboot. ........... also, if it's seen at the desktop you could format the drive from there if you don't need or already pulled your data off it.
