You may have all the plugs in, but they may not be in correctly There is a particular cable, the data cable needs to be inserted in a specific way The data cable is the flat cable with kind of a hole in it One side has a red stripe going down the side When you plug it the red stripe must be facing the inside of your motherboard This may fix your problem.

Good luck!
