I recently performed a basic cleanup on my PC and removed one of my SSDs to better access the power supply unit. After reconnecting it and trying to boot up, it didn’t work. All fans are running, all lights are on, and all SSDs spin, yet my screen remains unreachable. I’ve used various cables and monitors without success. My keyboard and mouse also don’t function properly. Although the PC appears normal, it’s not connecting to the monitors. There’s also a white light that won’t switch off. I own a B450 model, and this light suggests an issue with my GPU. Even when I disconnect the GPU, the light stays on.

Verify the SATA data cable is securely connected and the locking mechanisms are engaged. If the system fails to start, access the BIOS settings. Confirm the storage device appears in the list. Identify the type of SSD used.

Double-checking all cables again and repositioning everything as necessary.

I should also mention that if this doesn’t resolve your GPU and Mobo issue, verify your CMOS battery and consider replacing it.

I've never heard of an SSD turning—likely you're referring to a HDD. Verify your SATA connectors aren't unevenly loaded, ensuring they're aligned properly. Consistent orientation is key for both drives.

The latest premium SSD is compact and made of metal to ensure top spinning speed.

It’s a 1TB Samsung SSD I’m not sure which model it is. Everything of the cables looks fine. I’m having trouble getting into my BIOS since the screen won’t power on. I’ll also look into the CMOS battery.

I own two HDDs and one SSD, but I removed the SSD too. It failed when I unplugged it. The HDDs are working okay.

I replaced the SSD but it didn’t work. I swapped the CMOS battery to a fresh one. Everything else is functioning properly.

Quick check—did you leave it unplugged while it was operating? If yes, chances are it’s done for good unless your setup supports hotplugging.
