My computer has a strange behavior since I installed a new SSD (Samsung Evo 840).
When I pushed start button the first time after connecting the new internal SSD everything was ok. I managed to install my O.S (I tried win8.1) on this brand new SSD and the computer was still on for about 5hours. After that I clicked on shutdown and I went off.
Now I can't power it on normally again: If I push power button there is no sign of life. Even fan aren't moving, just like if there was no power at all. The only way to start my computer is to remove power cable, wait around 30s, then put it back and press start button. The computer launchs and boot this way with no sign of other failure whatsover (no random shutdown).
What I've tried:
- Remove internal Wifi card I don't use in order to check if since I've introduced a new drive there's a need to much power. It's a Corsair 650W power I've bought 3 months ago. Nothing changed.
- Put my SSD on another power supply
- Vacuum cleaning
- Check power cables are rightfully plugged in.
What I've not tried:
- Install SSD firmware/drivers (Samsung Evo 840), I've not installed them.
- Flash my motherboard by removing/putting back motherboard CMOS battery.
- Change motherboard CMOS, I've read on another forum this could be CMOS related but that would be strange It fails as soon as I install a new drive.
- Try with another Power Supply, since it's a brand new power supply and I've never had power issue before I installed this SSD I don't think it's related to this power supply but maybe?
- Try with another motherboard (because It would be a lot of pain).
What should I try first?
Thank you guys.
