Just recently, my Z87X-OC Force+GTX670 setup stopped working—I would try to boot it with my SSD, and before the Chimera bootloader screen even showed up, it would hang.
Isolated the problem to one of my HDDs, my 2TB backup disk. If the drive was plugged in on startup, it wouldn't even load the bootloader (from either USB or SSD); if the drive wasn't plugged in, it would start without a hitch.
So I backed up my backup, and wiped the drive. Funnily enough, even though it was absolutely empty of everything, it still caused the same problem.
Tried the drive in different SATA ports too—same issue.
Has anyone else run into this problem, and does anyone know a solution for it?
