Hello,

I'm trying to just simply play some old games like NFS U2.

 

I have a Asus Maximus II Formula 775, E8500 and 2x 4GB DDR2 RAM.

Bough even a original Windows XP 64bit edition, It looks like the PC doesn't like me at all.

 

It's very frustrating, I've tried 4 different Hard Drives and an older SSD (that works on my normal PC 3400G AM4 etc)

 

So the old SSD works, but now as of writing this I have a blackscreen and the Monitor went standby while the Keyboards LEDs are on.

It sees the CDROM even when I swap the SATA cables, but it doesn't see ANY harddrives even the working ones.

 

I did IDE mode, AHCI mode and it won't spin up the CDROM for installation nor does it see the hard drive.

It says Hard drive not detected.

Intel NUC 13 | i3 1315U | 2x 8GB 3600/CL16

 

 

AMD 7950x3d | Sapphire 7800XT Nitro | 2x 16GB Corsair Vengeance 5600Mhz CL36 1R | MSI B650-P Pro Wifi | Custom Loop

What hard drives are you using? A later LGA 775 board such as the one you're using shouldn't have any issues with SATA drives, even modern ones.

It tried to boot the SSD and it showed a windows XP screen and then blackscreen or restart.

BIOS says "SSD not detected"

I just bought a 30bucks SSD with 240GB and we will see, if it works then it works if not I throw the PC out the window.
