Desktop is restarted over and over at the Lenovo screen. On the main drive my ssd it just keeps cycling. On the HDD which is what was cloned to the ssd, but currently not updated like the main drive it sometimes boots in for a few seconds or maybe a minute.
Already tested the psu and ram via swapping. Cleaned everything out and replugged in all connections, but no luck. I put each drive one at a time into another system and it says "no boot device available".
Now here is the really crazy part... I took an old hdd with Windows xp and put it into this same machine where my drives said no boot device.. It loaded right up fine with no issues several times.
So I'm thinking ok, now pop this xp drive in my system, guess what. Restart non stop on the Lenovo screen again. Really strange because not only is there some weird issue with my original 2 drives not booting on the other systems, but the xp drive not loading means there is something else wrong that I can't figure out.
Nothing left to change except the motherboard. Wish there was a way to know for certain since I can only order this board online unless I decide to buy a case as well.
I tried different sata ports and cables, but nothing. Now it's mostly going past Lenovo to "no os found, boot sequence will repeat". Plugged drive back into the old system and boots right up. This is so frustrating testing all this from 11pm to 4am
Any ideas would be great.
