Hello!

I just installed windows 10 from my usb on my new SSD, i opened the installation from bios, selected the ssd, clicked next and saw the copying files and the other things so my windows was installing. After 10 minutes I came back to the PC and all I saw was a grey rectangle on the top left of the screen that was appearing and dissapearing fast. That happened for another 10 minutes and even after I restarted the computer.

What can I do to fix that problem?

I recorded a video to show you the rectangle :)

I pressed every single button on keyboard so that's not the problem :)

To ensure the best outcome, when installing (clean) to a SSD, you should disconnect the HDD to ensure all required system files actually get written to the SSD and not the HDD (you can re-connect after a successful install.

You can try disconnecting the HDD and performing a Repair to get Windows to write the proper boot files to the SSD. Or just re-do your install with only the SSD connected.
That is usually an indicator of a problem with the selected boot device. Check your BIOS to ensure that the selected boot device is set as your default boot device. Also, did you remove the USB drive you installed from before trying to boot from the SSD?

When you installed to the SSD, was a HDD also installed (and connected) to the system?
 


I didn't remove any drive and yes, when i installed the ssd, my hdd was also installed and connected to the system.
 


It was a clean install on the SSD, while i also have windows installed on HDD. I didn't format the hdd windows drive in case of problems like this...
