Hard drives CLICK, multiple tries to finally power up the system, no probs after that
The same thing happens when I put in
a) another power supply.
b) brand new hard drive :
The following happens with multiple hard drives (put in separately) and at stock CPU speeds. Power Supply is 380W Antec TruePower TP380.
When the computer is OFF, and is then turned on, The drives CLICK and "nothing happens" or the system pauses briefly then continues and loads IF there are no more clicks.
Frequently the drives CLICK > I reset > CLICK > I reset > it finally goes through without any further problems until the power is turned off for a while, then when it’s turned back on the whole thing repeats.
When the drives are taken to another system, they are all fine.
My system on which I now have only 1 new 200 GB WD and before which I had two 120 GB WD:
