Can a new CPU damage an SSD?

[Fasauceome]

Upgraded my brother to a 7700, tested it out and it worked perfectly. Swapped back in the 6600 to see if it worked because I got a smudge on it, it worked. Swapped back in the 7700, no longer can boot to windows. On top of that, my USB 3.0 to SATA tester can't detect it. How did this drive just die?

 

edit: I found it also makes a little whine noise when it's plugged in

Windows 10 sometimes doesn't like you swapping parts. Maybe a reformat is needed

only thing is that it isn't recognized by anything, it's not in the motherboard BIOS and I can't access it over USB so the drive itself can't be detected by a windows installer

Not really, no. The CPU used shouldn't affect an SSD at all.

 

It's possible you got unlucky and something got zapped in a way that killed the drive. Maybe unplug it, let it sit for 30 mins so it can think about what it has done, then try again?

I did actually make progress, the SSD now can boot but now I get error 0xc0000098, saying it doesn't contain valid info for an OS.

Try booting to a windows install disk and then try repairing the SSD's Windows installation.

is the hdd an SSD or a mechanical drive?

 

just an fyi mechanical drives are less forgiving to g forces, and will fail if for example you move the case while the computer is running.

the hard drive is fine, it's the SSD that's acting up.

start with basics,

       try a different sata cable and connector on motherboard

       try a different sata power connector from powersupply

tried a different PC, can't access the data

the only thing i can think of is power related when you replaced the processor. the ssd is obviously dead.

you didnt plug power into the drive while the computer was running did you?

I didn't but it shouldn't matter, as storage devices are hot swappable and can be plugged in or unplugged at will. At the moment it's reading as a corrupted drive, so I'll have to see what's possible to salvage it. The windows installer can see it but nothing else. Any suggestions?

you can use testdisk to see what you can salvage. yes sata drives are hot swappable but its still far safer to replace drives with power off and only if you are using a Serial ATA power connection not a molex connector

dump the entire disk using test disk to a bigger drive. you can than try and get data out afterwards.

when a drive is failing you should try and get a copy of all the data you can before it completely fails.

fortunately there's no critical data on the drive, it's all cloud saved. The hassle will be reinstalling the whole game library and such, and I also need to make sure whatever I was doing didn't cause the damage.

follow this process if you want to make a copy of the disk (sector by sector).

you can afterwards try and analyze the image for lost data.
