I left this weekend and when I came back I turned my computer on. I have my Windows 10 installed on an SSD, so when it was taking a very long time to boot I became worried. Nothing happened, so I restarted the computer. It went into endless automatic repair, which it would do every time from now on. Eventually though, after about 15 minutes of sitting it booted and I could use windows as normal. I have my C drive that is an SSD, a large HDD, and another smaller SSD installed. I saw that neither the board explorer, nor my file explorer was noticing the drive as being present. It did however recognize the drive in the device manager, and it wouldn't let me open disk management. When I tried to populate the drive through device manager, the device manager program froze on me and I had to end it in task manager. I then unplugged the secondary SSD and it worked perfectly. I swapped cables around and swapped where ports went in and the same problem happened, it took forever to boot. So the problem is that whenever my SSD is plugged in, my computer doesn't like that and it is recognized only in the device manager, not my board explorer and not in the file explorer.
