Bizarre SSD Issue

[ITGURU]

We have several desktops we are upgrading to SSDs. The majority have gone find swapping the HDDs to SSDs and boot fine.

However I have 1 type of ASUS board, where when the power button is pressed, we get the BIOS screen, the machine goes to boot, then it loses Power and turns off. Press the button - process repeats.

Disconnect the SSD and re-connect the HDD it boots fine.

Have tested with more than one machine with the same motherboard - same issue - any of the SSDs connected to the particular model of board has the issue.

Different PSU and no change.

Never seen this before!

I have seen strange issues with Stone computers that has ASUS boards. Some of them were fixed with a BIOS update. Have you tried this?

 

It's one of the main reasons I stick to the likes of Dell, Lenovo & HP.

All our boards are ASUS and no issues with the other boards as they've all got SSDs now.

However if i image the machine with the SSD attached in situ, it seems to then boot,

Would appear imagining all the SSDs from one machine then putting into the machines (exactly the same as the 100 other model SSDs i imaged from one machine which work fine), this particular board doesn't like this way

we upgraded to SSDs (not ASUS boards) we didn't have a bracket for the SSD and wedged them in the case. it turns out that the sata connectors had ever so slight wire exposure and was shorting on the case.

 

We wedged them more carefully after that or double tape when we found some.
