Hello everyone,
So, I had a 500GB western digital blue SSD that had windows 10 on it, along with a 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD. My system would take forever to boot, sometimes stuck in a boot loop for more than 10 times at a time and then having either the Driver error state code on the blue screen or simply restarting itself over and over until it started it.
I had a friend come look at it, and what we ended up doing was taking out the SSD, putting windows on the HDD and the computer booted up fine, no issues at all. The boot times weren't even bad with the HDD.
We thought maybe it was a bad SSD, so I purchased another brand, a 256GB Silicon Power, took out the HDD and put Windows 10 on the new SSD. Windows would not boot and at one point didn't even recognize that Windows 10 was on the SSD.
So we tried wiping the SSD, and using the HDD as the boot option and even with nothing on the SSD, my pc wouldn't boot.
My question is, what could be the issue, is a bad motherboard, is a bad PSU? It is very confusing to me and I have no idea what's wrong. Why doesn't my pc work whenever a SSD is plugged in but does when one isn't?
As of now, my pc is booting off of the HDD and it isn't slow enough to complain about but I know having a SDD would make it boot faster.
If anyone could explain what the problem is, I would greatly appreciate it.
