Hi,

My computer tends to run really slow so I was researching and perhaps it was due to my hard drive. I looked at the speed and it only runs at 5400. I want to test this and so I had a spare seagate 120 gb 7200 rpm harddrive laying around. I plug this in and the computer doesn't turn on. I thought this was weird, unplug the hard drive and the computer still doesn't turn on. However, I plug in the old hard drive (Western digital 1 tb Caviar green) and it turns on now. Could this be a problem with the power supply? But I'm not sure as the computer doesn't even turn on when no Hard drive is connected.

Thanks!
