PC Specs

gtx 1060 6gbs.

16 gb ram ballistic,
evga 600w Pcu,
wd black 850 m.2 drive
samsung evo 860 1tb
2 x 8tb HDDs beracudas
Windows 10

I cleaned my PC using a pc vacuum and when I try to boot it up and got stuck on the Auros logo and I cannot go into bios or do any thing else. So I make sure everthing was connected right and still wont star I did some research and found out to try to disconnect all my hard drives and only leave the m.2 connected and it work it boot up. the problem now is when I go to connect the samsung evo 860 1tb it gets stuck on the Auros logo again.
When I try to boot up with all the other hard drives it works fine, only when I try to istall the evo 860 it gives the the frozen logo

Things that I try doing so far
1 unplug and replug all the sata cables
2 try changing the cables around even from the modo it self
3 take out the bios battery

some say to test the ssd in another PC but I dont have another PC to try it in, and my close family only have Ipads and cellphones.

Hi just a suggestion check your Primary Boot Order in the BIOS. Make sure your Windows 10 Boot drive is set to Boot First. Set the other drives to disabled so the PC only boots from your Windows 10 drive. This may be worth a try. Good luck. please post your results.

For a start, I'd disconnect the 860 1TB, dive into the BIOS and go to the Boot menu. Locate "Full Screen LOGO Show" and set it to Disabled. This will allow you to see what's going on when the computer starts up, instead of hiding things behind a stupid Auros logo.

As @digitaldata77 says, it's probably the boot order that's got messed up, but if you didn't change any SATA leads or BIOS settings during cleaning, I'm not sure why things went wrong.

Cleaning is sometimes a "risky" process, especially if you disturb multiple loose fitting SATA data leads. You may end up disconnecting a drive and then the boot order changes.

PSU make and model (or part number) is? Also, how old the PSU is, and was the PSU bought new or used/refurbished?

using a pc vaccume

What kind of vacuum? Since common vacuums produce static electricity and when using it to suck out dust from the PC internals, it can cause static electricity discharge, frying components.

Either the 860 Evo itself is dead, or SATA port on MoBo is dead.

Your MoBo has 6x SATA ports. Try connecting the drive into another port and look if it is detected in BIOS.

When you've tried out all 6x SATA ports and drive still won't show up, it would be safe to assume that 860 Evo is dead.
You can try the drive with 2nd PC, to see if it shows up there or not.
