The system isn't recognizing any storage devices during startup.
I've been running an old PC with a Minecraft server for three years now. The machine has an A10-6700 APU, 16GB DDR3 RAM, and a GT620 processor. It's essentially a refurbished Acer TC-130 build. I've kept it mostly as a secondary system, even though it technically works fine. Over the past three years, I've swapped out several parts—hard drives, operating systems (Windows 8.1, 10, 11), and even tried Ubuntu Server. Recently, I replaced the main hard drive with a 500GB SATA SSD to run the server on Ubuntu. The process involved booting from USB, installing the OS, and dealing with reboots or power-on issues. I've tested multiple drives, cables, RAM modules, and BIOS settings, but the problem persists. There are two links provided for troubleshooting, though I'm still trying to figure out what's causing the boot failure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
In a side thought, Mindflare suggests "Minecraft" should be the proper title for encouraging a pawn to switch to another piece in chess.
Additionally, the server or PC motherboard appears undamaged. All tested drives function properly in my gaming PC (5600x and GTX 1080, B550M 16GB RAM).
