SSD was working perfectly, now causing boot up issues.

[Guest]

Hey, I'm really desperate to try and get this fixed. Luckily it isn't urgent but I'll explain the situation as to why I'm very very confused. (Bear with me, I'm no PC expert)

I got a new SSD installed about a day ago from posting. Once I installed it, I got all the cables in, and it was working perfectly fine. Went straight to my PC and I loaded Overwatch on there just to test it out. Everything loaded quicker, the drive was registering on Windows 10, and I had absolutely zero issues with the SSD. Now, for some reason tonight, my PC just decided to turn off at random. Not really too sure why, but it wasn't even a blue screen. Almost like a quick little restart. However after this had happened, my PC didn't want to turn back on. My computer was getting power, however my GPU wasn't powered on, and neither was my CPU fan. The BIOS isn't working either, I'm getting no display from either onboard or my graphics card. No beeps, just the sound of the PSU chugging on.

Now, I messed about with the cable, took it out and popped it back in hoping it was just loose or something since it was working before. But that didn't work at all, and now it's odd. If I take the SSD cables out, boot up as normal on Windows 10, and just work off of my HDD, there are absolutely no issues what-so-ever. As soon as I plug in the SSD after I've booted up to Windows before, it will load up to Windows 10 again after restarting, get to about the lock screen, then just turn off, and go back to where I started with this issue where nothing else looks like it's getting power. So it's clearly something to do with the SSD...?

Genuinely lost at the moment, and as I said I'm not exactly an expert. I understand a few things here and there and have more knowledge than your average joe but now that everything's gone balls-up I'm kinda lost...

My specs are as follows, since this will probably help:

Motherboard: Gigabyte H81M-S2H
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4790 CPU
HDD: Seagate ST1000DM003-1ER162

The SSD that's causing these issues is also the Samsung EVO 250gb.

Appreciate any help or any advice that can be thrown this way, and if there's any other information needed that could help work out this problem, just ask. Thanks guys!

your motherboard most likely died
if its giving no response and wont show bios e.t.c its most likely dead
from what your saying, i can easly confirm it died

1. Just to confirm...when your HDD is installed as the boot drive there's NO problem. Is that right? The system boots to the OS (WHICH IS???) and functions problem-free. Is that right?
2. But the problem you described involves ONLY when the SSD is your boot drive, right?
3. You fresh-installed Win 10 on the SSD? Or did you clone the contents of the HDD to that SSD?
4. If you fresh-installed Win 10 on the SSD did you attempt a new fresh install?
5. If you cloned the contents of the HDD to that SSD, did you attempt to repeat the disk-cloning operation?
6. Assuming the assumption in 1. above is correct, what happens when you install the SSD as a SECONDARY drive in the system? Have you tested the health of the SSD with the Samsung Magician diagnostic program?
