That seems unusual.

I purchased a new SSD for my PC, cloned the old one into it, but the machine won't start. It freezes at the Windows boot screen, stopping at the spinning circle. I had to switch back to the old SSD, but it also failed. Even with the same SATA port and power, nothing works. I changed the SATA slot on the new SSD, and it started up. After shutting it down and connecting the old SSD (still attached, first in BIOS boot option), formatting it didn't help. It froze again. I then moved the new SSD to a laptop and booted it up. Finally, after updating the BIOS, everything functioned properly. My question remains: why does this happen? Why does the PC work initially, then fail after an SSD swap, and only after a BIOS update? Thanks for your assistance!
Update on bios might not apply; it could be a random incident. There may be a hardware issue, possibly caused by damaging something during an SSD replacement.
