Hi guys,
Basically the other day i Installed an M.2 SSD (Kingston A2000). On the same day I updated a load of my drivers and since then I have had issues. Firstly, 6 of my 9 USB ports stopped working while in windows (they seen fine in the BIOS). Then I tried a bunch of troubleshooting methods but I then went to repair windows. After I did this, all 3 of my other internal drives (An SSD and two HDDs) don't appear in Windows. They seem to still appear in my bios though. Yesterday I did a complete reinstall of Windows which I thought would fix it but I had no success. I tried cloning my Windows back to my old SSD but when I booted I got an error saying something along the lines of it not having access to the drive. It's had me stressed out the last few days and I really don't know what to do. The next step would be to replace hardware but with both the drives and USBs showing in the BIOS I wouldn't know what to replace. I've had advice from a guy who owns a computer store who said it would likely be my motherboard. I would appreciate any help you guys can give as I'm not really that great with tech. If someone could at least indicate me into what I would need to replace it would be amazing. Thanks - Jamie
