  1. Just put a new ssd in my pc and now it's not working.


    so i just got a new ssd to replace my old hdd entirely because it started really slowing down my pc. I put the ssd where the old hdd's cables were sata and the big one and my pc is booting up, but afterwards it says no boot device found press any key to reboot. I checked the bios controls and saw that the pc is detecting the kingston ssd but its just not going past the "no boot device found" phase. What can i do to fix it?

    :)

  2. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    Just put a new ssd in my pc and now it's not working.

    PC Build Steps

    1.1 - Ideally put optical in SATA 0, and SSD in SATA 1, this will cause the optical drive to be the default 1st boot option. You can change it manually if not, but I like it this way
    2.infinity - yes, that's fine. if it's above 70 +/- 5 degrees, then it may just need a repaste/remount
