I read that the OS runs a chkdsk after several repeated reboot cycles. I think it's the GPU since it's not even recognised by device manager anymore. I can't even start pc with gpu plugged in because POST fails each time and boot cycles. I'll just buy another gpu then. RIP

Weird, right after the reset, and before the installation of windows, the OS did a chkdsk I assume. The message was like "Fixing (C): Stage 2 87% (198962 of 226932); Total 79%; ETA: 0:00:04" Did something happen to my SSD?

Ah yeah I've already tried that before. Same result in the other pcie. I decided to try again, plugged in the gpu and after some cycles it somehow came up with a windows screen with an error message and was able to select advanced options. I'm able to reset the computer once again. The weird...

Ah okay. I tried to install this but it just says no amd graphics hardware was detected. I can't install it without plugging the rx 470 but I also can't plug the gpu in because it intermittently powers off and on every 5 or so seconds. Damn.

I plugged it into another pcie slot and it still intermittently turns off and on. I bought this computer second hand 2 years ago. As for clean installing the driver, do I just login to windows using the integrated graphics and download the driver? Because it won't start with the gpu plugged in.

Ah okay. I have a new problem now. I assume the reason why my computer kept turning off was because of my GPU. It was working fine after the OS install yesterday. However, this morning I turned it on and have a GPU issue. My GPU is XFX Radeon RX 470. Right now the computer is able to...

Yeah I've installed the OS on the kingston. I had an activated windows on the samsung SSD. Is there any way to restore it, because right now it says it's not activated. I'll scan the samsung one, thanks.

I ruled out faulty wiring, changed both power and data cables but still gives an A3. So definitely could be the samsung SSD itself

Hey thanks for the help, appreciate it. How can I do a clean install? If I disconnect the samsung SSD and leave the kingston SSD connected, it asks me to "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key_"

I'm using an MSI motherboard btw. I disabled fast memory boot, changed SATA mode from IDE to AHCI. Still gives an A3 screen when I connect my samsung SSD with my OS on it.

My OS is Windows 10. I can't change the boot sequence when my SSD is connected. I have 3 drives. Two SSD (128gb kingston) (256gb samsung) and one WD 1tb HDD. When I connect my samsung 256gb SSD, I cannot enter BIOS. This samsung SSD holds my windows 10 OS. However, when I disconnect the samsung...

Haha yeah, it's on 3k cycle counts and still amazing! I don't know what A3 really means either. Googled around to no avail.

I have no idea what in the world is going on. The last 3 weeks my pc has kept randomly restarting. I've wiped the hard drive and reinstalled windows on it several times. Today out of the blue I powered on the PC, it shut down immediately after logging in. Now I'm unable to boot into the OS...
