Samsung ssd 850 EVO

[Ouellettek8]

My pc was working fine and everything froze, a windows error popped up and it crashed. When I went to reboot, the screen was black and didn't begin loading windows. I went into bios, made sure the boot order was correct, made sure none of the setting changed but every time I tried it went straight to black. Tried manually selecting the samsung ssd, didn't boot windows. Tried to use my usb with windows setup to see if I could system restore or repair the startup, the windows logo appeared with the spinning icon but it wouldn't load. Disconnected the ssd and that was the only way I could even get windows setup to work. Tried the samsung ssd on a different mobo but it had the same results. I know the problem has to do with the samsung ssd but I don't understand the way it's causing so many problems. I installed windows on a separate ssd so that I could try to at least get into the Samsung ssd and try to recover some files, but whenever it is attached to my pc nothing will load, everything stops working and windows crashes. This time I saw that the error read "driver power state error." This ssd is only a month old, I can't imagine it's broken with the little amount it's been used. It appears in bios when connected. It appears in windows if connected after starting the pc up, but pc doesn't start if it's connected, and pc doesn't freeze when it is connected it simply doesn't load anything and eventually crashes. Tried everything I could think of, disconnected each component 1 at a time, works fine unless samsung ssd is attached, works fine with other ssd though. Tried to check on the driver but shortly after attaching the samsung ssd nothing works so that option failed.

Do you have a USB adapter you can try? Even though it is only a months old it could very well be dead.
