Computer won't boot after connecting SSD?

PringleMasterByPringleMaster

Hello. My computer is a good nine years old. It came with Windows 8.1 when it was first installed, and I suddenly needed it again. So I bought an SSD and plugged it in. Everything worked perfectly. Windows 10 installed without any issues, and I even got to the desktop.

Afterward, I shut down and restarted the computer, but it froze when the manufacturer's logo (in this case, Lenovo) was displayed. Even changes to the BIOS (disabling Quick Boot, etc.) didn't help.

When I then tried to access the Windows 10 installation drive to perform system repair, that didn't work either; it also crashed (I accessed the drive directly from the boot menu, so there's no problem with the boot order). After disconnecting the SSD, everything worked as usual.

What could this be? Is the SSD too fast for the computer?

Hi.

Speed ​​is not a problem, has also accelerated many old computers with an SSD. But always put on Samsung.

Switch the SATA cable between board and board, it can be annoyed.

Take SATA III with the metal clip.

I have been there forever for troubleshooting when I had used an old SATA II cable and the plate was not found for horror on the new computer (now also 8 years) but on the predecessor computer.

No .. too fast

I have equipped several old computers (notebooks and desktops) with SSD and then Linux and also Windows 10 installed on it – just last week again:

  • HDD with a tool copied to SSD
  • HDD
  • SSD in
  • Boating
  • Finished

There were never any problems. I'm afraid your SSD has a defect. But you can only check this if you connect the SSD with a SATA USB adapter to the computer and see if it can be read out in normal operation.
