Hi,

Apologizes for mistakes I'm on mobile (and french)

After searching for quite a time I'm sadly here to ask for some help. I built my computer 2 years ago, never had an issue since, took care of it, etc.

Today I decided to buy a 120 Go Kingston SSD. My PC was running this morning without any issue. Quick config :
Z77 g43 motherboard
i5 3470
Gtx 650
Hdd WD 1 To
Windows 7
Corsair alim 600W

So I installed the SSD in the 2'5 slot fairly easily, but I had to battle through to put it in the right spot. I did unplug some stuff to make room for my hands.
After the installation I tried to boot my PC, it does one single "beep" (as usual) : the hdd led turns on (without blinking, not sure if usual), fans turns on, but in 8/10 seconds, the computer shuts down, my monitor didn't even turn on. The computer then waits few seconds, and attempts to reboot again, then shuts down again, rinse and repeat.

So I unplugged the sata cable from both the motherboard and the sata alim cable from the ssd, and tried to re-start again.. Same problem : ssd totally unplugged and same issue, which makes me think the issue is from somewhere else, but I can't seem to find where. I'll try different solutions tonight and will keep looking at this thread as well. I can provide pics and videos. Few details :
The sata cable is one I had in stock, the ssd didn't have one. My case is a zalman z11.

I'm not sure in which part of the site to post, feel free to move the post if necessary. Thanks a lot for your help
