Question My SSD now makes computer freeze before BIOS

[ScottSummers]

My computer now freezes before the BIOS if my previously-working 2.5" SSD system drive is plugged in.


1. Not the cables: My other SSDs work fine using any of the power or data cables. New SSD windows install is working fine.

2. Point of freezing: It displays in the lower-right corner which keys to press to enter BIOS, but there's no response, and boot never starts.

3. Maybe related: my computer had developed a habit of freezing for 60 seconds every few days.


SSD: TeamGroup GX2. 515gb. SATA 6gb/s. 2.5".
Age: 2.5 years old. Came installed in my computer (Windows): https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali507/p/N82E16883360107

Do you have the SMART info of your SSD?

Or at least its last health report?

Try a usb>sata cable plug it in after the OS is running.
That's based on a guess that this disk is an extra your trying to add.
