So go and read this please, copy and paste is not working. ALL of their answers have not been helpful to me.

 

If I need a new motherboard, I am on Socket AM3 using a Phenom 840.

 

My current motherboard is a Pegatron NARRA5

your motherboard my have a bad chipset thus not reading any of the hard drives, you may need a new mobo, but before that, prior to the messge did you do anything to the pc? as in change something out? is it open? what are some of the specs you have?

Thanks for writing back. I recently put a heatsink on my hard drives because they were getting hot. My hdds are readable in the BIOS and are readable on another PC. My specs are: CPU: AMD Phenom || x4 840, MOBO: Pegatron NARRA5 (From a Compaq PC from a few years) GPU: Zotac GTX 560 TI. I do have my side panel open because I wouldn't be able to cool my mobo VRM where I mounted my fan very well. Any suggestions on motherboards using socket AM3 under the $100 range? I have to buy new ram too because I am using DDR2 (4 GB)
