Hi there,

I'm new to this forum, but i'll hope this works cause i'm lost.
Last friday i bought a new SSD for my laptop it's an Asus K Series with:

  • Intel Core I7 4th generation
    12Gb Ram
    Nvidia Gforce 635m
    500GB HDD

So friday i plugged in my brand new Samsung Evo 850 128Gb ssd, and i installed windows 10 on my ssd and tried to boot from it. It worked like a charm so i thought i could format my old harddrive, after i had done that it went bad. First i only got the bios and after a few boot failures i got nothing. When i turn it on i can see the fan spinning, and hear the cd player if i put a cd in it, so i think everything still works, but i only get a black screen and no bios.
I already tried to boot from a cd with an bootable image of windows 7, but also nothing happened.
Last night i removed the CMOS battery to reset the bios, but it didn't do anything at all.

I would appreciate your help :)
If there is any further need of details please ask.

Hi,

I will try this as soon as i get home!
Should i try to boot it with or without harddrive? Cause i think the problem is with my harddrive.

Thanks!

It kind of worked, i got the bios from there i disabled fast boot & secure boot and enabled Launch CSM.
From there i installed Linux Ubuntu from the cd/dvd drive, it worked for about half an hour than i needed to do a restart.
then it went downwards, cause now my notebook shuts down after 10 seconds after the boot.
i tried booting with and without harddrive and battery, neither of them worked.

I had a Samsung EVO 850 crap out on me during a Win 10 install. Had to RMA back to Samsung. New drive works fine. I think the SSD had firmware that was quirky with my 6 year old Toshiba's Bios. Some sort of AHCI or ATA issue I'm guessing. Either that or the drive I had was a Lemon. But, it was fin with Win 7, Win 8.1, but, when I moved to 10 it gave out. There install kept aborting, too. I was installing 32-bit OS on a 2GB machine (32-bit has smaller resource foot print. BIOS won't let me install higher capacity RAM modules).
Take the drive out, using drive makers diagnostic software, test it as a secondary drive on a desktop PC.
If the other machine won't "see" it in the bios, or device manager, even before Diag tests, it's toast.

But it didn't crap out on install, it installed and ran until i did a full reboot of the system, then it asked me to do the install again and again and again... if i insert it in a hdd/sdd docking the system will find it.
So i'm afraid the problem this time is with my notebook because it stops booting after 5/10 seconds.
During that boot i get no screen or bios or whatsoever even when no harddrive is inserted.
