pc wont load my ssd when i plug it in to the psu it shuts off....what am i doing wrong?

SSD might have failed. If it's internally shorted, it will likely cause the PSU to shut down. Does the PC POST without it?

Does it show in the BIOS?

What was the earlier problem with the cable? You might have killed something.

not sure ...but i dont think so.... not great on bios.

What's the history of the machine?

Some context to the situation would help. E.g. was it previously working?

I'd start by testing the drive in another machine.

Without properly understanding what was going on to the cause the shutdowns mentioned there's no way to know whether the drive and/or the mother could have been damaged.

Have you confirmed they are still working?

A connection fault that causes the machine to shutdown is never going to be a good thing. You could have killed components.

The obvious things you need to check for are:-

Disabled SATA ports - check in the BIOS
Dead drives - try them in another machine
Dead SATA ports - try known good drives on them
Dodgy SATA data cables - try known good cables

If you aren't willing to do a bit of basic fault finding you aren't going to get anywhere.
