What cable are you using?

I have been using the two cables that plug in to the pc. My pc will not get past the splash screen and after a few minutes it would go to bios and if I disconnected the ssd and turned on the pc, it immediately goes to bios. I couldn’t format it using a usb with a fresh windows and my laptop will not recognize it when i connected it via adapter.

Looks like your SSD may be defective:

My SSD is dead?

Ssd doesnt show up anywhere. It worked fine yesterday, and today it just doesnt shows anywhere, not even bios. It's not showing up at all. So basically my question is, is it dead?

Whenever i plug in a fresh usb windows it lets me install it but it wont detect the SSD. Does That role out that the motherboard being the issue?

It's unlikely to be a motherboard problem, much more likely it's a defective SSD since it won't even work when connected externally to another PC (your laptop).
