It stills restarts, even without any drives connected. I suppose it's looking like a psu issue.

I'm attempting this now. It will be hard to measure if it is truly fixed as it can sometimes stay running for a long time before shutting off and it gave us time to install things on the pc to see if things were working. The PSU is very old, maybe 2015. I have had them fail in the past too so I...

I have installed windows 10 on the ssd using a laptop. After tinkering with it slightly the PC boots to Windows 10 with all hdds recognised. The problem is, that switching off problem has not stopped. I thought maybe it's the psu being close to the 500 watt limit so I removed two sticks of RAM...

Just to add, I do have my own healthy PC that I can utilise if necessary. For example, to add the new ssd as a secondary drive for something.

I have just managed to get back onto the installer and when attempting to create partitions, it has given me an error code of 0xa3bfd530 After giving this a google, nothing at all shows up.

When I am trying to select options in the bios, the screen just goes black and the system reboots. I am booting with the usb first in UEFI and the SSD second and even when doing so the mobo is not booting on to the USB. The only way i can get it to boot is by manually selecting it in the...

The BIOS sees the SSD as does windows installer. I removed all other drives after the first time I saw the error as I read that could be a potential issue. Sadly, that didn't fix it. It is straight out of the box so no data is on it. I booted from usb using UEFI on the boot menu. Now for some...

I have tried this too and unfortunately, it isn't making a difference. I have since added the other HDDs to attempt to boot back the old windows I had installed. It keeps randomly shutting down and restarting for some reason...

Hello, hope you're all well. After getting the SSD listed above, 500gb variant, I am getting an error code when attempting to select the SSD for install: 0x80300024. I have removed all HDDs to ensure that was the only option and that has not worked. I am installing from USB and this was...

Thanks a lot. My current PC has a samsung evo SSD so i certainly see the benefits. Thanks a lot for your help, I look into getting one for hers as soon as possible.

That would explain it then. I have had a 1tb model in the past which i used as my boot drive with no issues. How much of a difference do you think an addition of a different HDD would have with such an old PC?

You're exactly right. As mentioned, its an old gaming PC of mine that I built back up a while ago to put her on and get her into gaming. I am looking to upgrade soon but the issue I am having currently is general tasks even to the extent of opening file manager.

My bad, i can give the model number now: ‎ST2000DMZ08 . I bought two, one for her pc and one for mine. Mine is not a boot drive so that may be why she is getting the slower performance. To add though, she has had "decent" until around a few months ago relative to the age of the computer. Is...

As mentioned it's a seagate barracuda. It's 2TB. System specs are as follows: AMD FX 6300 HyperX DDR3 32GB RAM GTX 770 Gigabyte 970A-UD3P 500W EVGA bronze psu 500gb Toshiba MQ01ABD050 Seagate Barracuda 2TB (boot drive, the one in question) Thanks for your response
