So I bought Crucial MX500(CT500MX500SSD1) SSD a couple of days ago, and installed it in my current PC config:
Intel i5 4570 3.2 GHz
Gigabye b85m-d3h
Corsair Vengeance 4GB X 2
Antec vp450p
NZXT Source Elite210
Western Digital Blue 1TB
After installing it internally using an old SATA cable (which was connected to a DVD writer which I don't use anymore) I went to Disk Management, initialized it, clicked on Create Simple Volume, Next Next., then before the SSD was formatted I got a BSOD. View: https://imgur.com/06TaOkx
After the computer restarted, I was not able to see the SSD in "My Computer". When I tried to format the drive from Disk Management or Change the letter I was getting these errors View: https://imgur.com/a/FB8dJD8
.
After a lot of tweaking, it was now showing up in "My computer". Now, I installed MiniTool tried to clone Windows 7 from my current HDD to the SSD, but as soon as the process started, I again got BSOD. View: https://imgur.com/a/DjdVZ9b
Since cloning sometimes causes problems, I formatted the SSD, tried installing Windows 10 directly from the HDD using This tool but again got BSOD. I formatted the SSD again and tried to install Win10 using a bootable drive but again got BSOD. I didn't have a big enough Pendrive so I had to use This tool to optimize the ISO file to fit it in 4 GB Pendrive. My country is under lockdown so there wasn't a way to get a bigger USB drive.
Here are the result of crystal disk info for both HDD and SSD : View: https://imgur.com/a/GHbRFoX
Now I don't understand what is going wrong here. Is there a way to make sure whether my SSD is fine and its just the way I am trying to install the OS which is causing issues?
