Rebuilt my pc specs
MOBO : Gigabyte Aorus Pro AC b550
Cpu ryzen 5600x
ram: 32 gb oloy 3600 cl16
SSD in question - samsung evo pro 840 250gb ((sata connection not m2)
I’ve had the drive 4 or 5 years i believe. Last time i checked in magician said drive was in good health. I bread board the build and it goes to bios menu. So i go to put it in case and this is where <Mod Edit> has hit the fan. First, it wouldn’t turn on at all. Would kick for a split second and then nothing. Only thing different from breadboard was the drives were connected. So i start unplugging and replugging them in, only have one plugged in, etc. nothing. Finally i replace the sata power cable connected to them and it boots. But the SSD is not recognized; the two storage drives are. I’ve tried replacing the sata data connector and different ports on the motherboard - nothing. Cannot find any kind of option in bios menu where i need to enable anything, and like i said, it recognizes the other two storage drives. Did the drive just die or something? I already unexpectedly had to replace the PSU and insanely frustrated, this is my 5th or 6th build in 10 years and i’ve never had this many issues in one. My plan is to go to best buy tomorrow and get an m2 drive to boot into (my two storage drives both have a ton of data on them including all my backups i had from prepping for the new build so formatting one into a boot drive is not an option. Any ideas? Thanks!
