The new PC is no longer starting from the SSD.
I assembled a new PC last week and successfully connected it to my old SATA SSD. After setting everything up, I copied the operating system onto a new P3 PLUS M.2 drive and verified it could boot. I manually changed the boot device by pressing F11 during startup, which functioned correctly. Everything seemed fine until recently. I removed the old SSD to create space and the system still operated properly. I played games and fell asleep. This week has been hectic, so I didn’t use it until now, when it displayed a strange blue screen. The machine shuts off after a few minutes of inactivity. The keyboard and mouse lights are not responding, and the computer isn’t accepting input from them. I don’t have a USB drive, but I’m trying to figure out how to resolve this issue. It’s getting frustrating. I’ve already tried taking out the SATA SSD.
First idea...You'll need to reinstall Windows. Once done, I recommend checking the P3 Plus for any issues—they should appear in its SMART data. Use CrystalDiskInfo to retrieve that info. After the reinstall, keep your spare SATA SSD as a backup drive during this time to protect the P3 Plus. If it fails, you'll at least be able to recover your setup to another drive. You might also try removing the M.2 drive to force the PC to display the BIOS splash screen. Make sure your peripherals light up properly and can send input to the system.
You have a new Windows installation on your SATA SSD and it’s running, but the P3 PLUS isn’t working. Since you’ve confirmed the drive health, try checking its status using the built-in tools or a diagnostic utility. If issues persist, look into BIOS settings or hardware compatibility.
Use CrystalDiskInfo to examine the SMART information. A value of OK indicates the threshold hasn't been exceeded for any problems.
Looking into the problem without a full reset could help identify the cause.
