Question Why No Monitor Signal when trying to install SSD

[BornAgainPCGamer]

Hi everyone i recently bought a samsung evo 8601tb ssd. I was planning on doing a clean install of windows 10 as my original hdd was 3tb and crammed with stuff i dont need.

I formatted a usb to do a fresh windows install and then disconnected my hdd and connected the ssd. When i pressed the power, the pc fired up as normal except for getting no signal on the monitor. I tried unplugging my gfx card and fired it up again and sure enough i got a picture. I refitted my original hdd and that also worked. I then tried my ssd again and again no monitor signal.

I tried using different sata ports and also cables and still no result.

Any ideas what could be the problem? I thought i would try here before going to a shop to leave it in. Any help be appreciated thanks.

My system is as follows
I5 4690k
Gtx 1660ti
16gb ram
Gigabyte mobo
Corsair 600 psu

In bios, are you set to ACHI?
I've seen this once or twice, what fixed my issues at the time was making the SSD on SATA 0 or 1, sounds like you've tried those combos though.

Yes is set to ACHI. I will try again on the ports Sata 0 and Sata1 just to be sure. Thanks for the reply.
