Sata Hard drive and SSD not being detected in motherboard

[CrimsonSlayer]

I bought a motherboard Ga z77 d3h rev 1.0 used. The guy showed it to me booting to windows and the bios working properly all the ram slots etc. Bought it home installed my processor and drives and booted. After booting it went to readying devices after which followed a series of bsods everytime i booted. Then suddenly it switched to the backup bios and told that the main bios was corrupted. After that it booted to the bios ver. F18 and everything works fine except it doesnt detect any sata device no matter which port i try. 

I tried updating the bios to f23, still didnt work. Changed the sata mode from ahci to raid to ide and still didnt help. usb devices still work and im now gonna try booting from usb using external hdd and see if i can fix it from windows. I want to now if it could be a physical problem with the motherboard or just a software one. And i would appreciate any input 

specs are

I7 3770

4gb x2 

kingston ssd 128gb

500gb hdd

1660ti (i know its overkill and bottlenecked cant do anything about it rn)

600w coolermaster 

I know all my other stuff works correctly because i have an other lga1155 motherboard and it works there so the problem is with the new motherboard.

Sandybridge huh?  Old intel. Almost too old to use for anything except retro stuff. Sort of astounding people are paying good money for sandybridge in this day and age. Might have a reason.  The thing about sandybridge is it’s so old it can have problems newer boards don’t have, like aging caps and stuff.  It’s not impossible you’ve got some sort of weird age or wear related hardware issue.  One thought might be trying a sata card and see if it just suddenly works.  I’m sort of wondering if the board may have been damaged by electrostatic discharge or something and it was sort of a last straw thing.  Another concept might be that a whole bunch of things plug into a motherboard and it might not have been able to handle one of them.

My Optiplex 990 would like to have a word with you.

Yea i think my ssd caused that issue after pluggin everything back to my old motherboard it did take quite a lot of tires to get it to work again. The board im using now is even older then the one i bought xd. After booting to windows it repaired my ssd c drive and now its working fine on my old one

Weird thing. Solved the detecting issue by dismounting cpu cooler. Guess it had too much mounting pressure on the cpu or something. Thing is to not screw the cooler all the way down
