That is strange.
Are you using any type of SATA power adapter cables? I use four pin molex to SATA power adapter cables for SSDs, and had a problem similar to yours when I also used the standard SATA power cables for some of the other drives I was using, at the same time. I had to use either only the molex to SATA power adapter cables, or only the standard SATA power cables. I never discovered why that happened, possibly a ground/earth problem.
You said you tried each drive by itself, one at a time, as well as two or three together, right?
It seems you are using the Intel integrated graphics, right? Not that it should make a difference.
When you get the blank screen when any of the drives are connected, did you try pressing the Reset button on the PC case? Not that you should need to do that.
Did you try clearing the UEFI/CMOS after connecting the drives? Again, not that you should need to do that.
Is your CX500 new, or have you used it in another PC?
One thing you can try is, connect one drive to the board, but only connect the SATA data cable, do not connect the SATA power cable. Then try to start the PC.
If that works, you can get into the UEFI fine, then connect the SATA power cable. Of course we know that will probably fail, right?
Are you using the default SATA mode, AHCI?
If you have another power supply, you could try using it instead of the other one.
It might be a bad board too, I hope not.

The BIOS is showing fine after booting, as long as I don't connect any SATA driver to the Motherboard. As soon as I do so, I get a blank screen and no BIOS displayed at all. The fans are spinning, and the PSU is working, so I know it has power. If I disconnect the SATA driver from the Motherboard, I get the BIOS again. I've tried with my SSD, and also with a DVDRW, and an HDD, all in separate, all together, on different ports, with different SATA cables. Any ideias?
