I recently assembled a new PC and everything functioned properly except for the SSD. After installing all components except the SSD, it started up correctly—lights turned on and everything worked as expected. When I inserted the SSD, connected the graphics card, and reinserted it, the system booted via VGA and displayed the red boot light. I repeated the process multiple times, checking connections, resetting CMOS, and ensuring all pins were secure. After removing and reattaching everything, I attempted to boot without the SSD or without the graphics card. Despite these adjustments, the PC still managed to power on and show the VGA red light. The issue persists even after thorough troubleshooting.
