PC powers on then instantly powers off with brand new SSD installed

[Jewpacarbra]

Hi 

I have just bought a brand new Samsung 850 EVO 250gb SSD. I am trying to install windows 10 onto my new rig.

However i have a big problem. When i install the SSD and connect a sata and power cable the PC powers on then within 0.5 seconds it shuts down and will not turn back on.

As soon as i remove the SSD the PC boots and i can access the BIOS.

The motherboard i am using is a Asus 170-A
Please help me, I do not know what to do here. I built this PC 2 weeks ago and i am still without a computer. I would GREATLY appreciate help.

Thank you.

Are there any other drives attached aside from your new SSD?

Thanks for the reply.

 

The SSD is the only drive that i am trying to use.

 

I have no knowledge about this sort of thing (i just saw it online) but could it be related to 'SATA Hard Drives and Controller Modes?'

If you have another computer see if you can hook it up as a secondary drive.  Then if you can check for firmware updates.

So if i plug this into another computer it will automatically search for updates? Or will i need to actively search for them?

Thanks

You usually check the cd it came with or the drive website for either a driver/firmware download or an update utility that you install and then that will check for an update.  

Also if it doesn't work on the other computer there may be a bigger issue.
