Ok guys this is my first post here.

Here is the thing, I've got my new pc setted up. My operating system is in the ssd. We are trying to download and install the drivers, when we reboot the system my pc wont see the ssd, then we reboot again with the reset switch (or power switch its the same) and then BAM! It does open the operating system. And the case doesnt beep. How can I solve this guys please help me. I know my English is not the best one but I hope you guys will understand me...

Thanks.
Btw if i opened this in wrong section pls let me know.

Hey there, EpicPuppy. Welcome to the community! 😀

Your post is OK and it is in the right section, so you have nothing to worry about.

Please make sure that all the cables have been properly seated (to the SSD, the motherboard and the PSU). Other than that, do you have any other drives besides the SSD? If yes, were they connected to the motherboard during the Windows installation process?

You could also download an SSD diagnostic tool and test the drive, to see if there's anything out of the ordinary. Check the SSD manufacturer's website for available firmware updates for your model.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.
