SSD Causing PC to shutdown mid-boot.

[SargentTNT]

So today after a week of waiting my Kingston UV400 120GB SSD came in. Decided since my previous drive with windows on it is 1TB that I would just do a clean install of windows on the SSD, so I unplugged the other two HDDs I have to where JUST the SSD is plugged in for the windows install. That went smoothly, it booted into windows after install just fine. I then shutdown the pc and plugged in the other drives. Turned the pc on, I saw the windows logo for a split second, then the computer turned off, mid-boot. Then I went ahead and unplugged both mechanical drives to where it just was the SSD. Same result. I was on the phone with Kingston 3 times and with no help. They just told me to clean install, did it twice, same result. I don't think it's my PSU because it could power 2 drives just fine but even with 1 plugged in it shuts down.

 

Specs:

i5 4570 3.2Ghz

GTX 1070

8gb RAM 1600mhz

2 seagate HDDs

ASRock h97 anniversary edition ATX motherboard.

Cooler Master v550 80+ Gold Certified ATX PSU

Kingston UV400 120GB SSD.

sounds to me like something on the SSD has failed. SSDs consume less power than a hdd so its not psu.
