[SOLVED] SSD Stopped after switching PSU

[hamishs]

Hey guys, my psu recently died so i got a new one. i plugged it all in and everything is working fine except my SSD is not appearing! it dosent appear in the bios and because i use it as my boot drive i’m now getting hit with “Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected boot device and press a key”. Is there any way to fix this because i’m not sure if my psu zapped it somehow or i’m doing something wrong

Thanks

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. List them like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:

We can move forward from here and tell for sure if your PSU took out more than itself. Latest BIOS for your motherboard?

First guess is either the power cable or the data cable is not plugged in.

Check all connections.
Then check them again.

 

[hamishs]

literally done that a thousand times

Do you have another system to check the SSD with?

 

[hamishs]

no.

 

[USAFRet]

no.

It's hard to diagnose without other known working parts.

I'd suggest creating a Linux Live USB, or even a Windows install USB to boot from and see if that drive is minimally recognized.
Find a friend with a working system to create this.
