New SSD messes up windows

Hi all

So today I put together my new build, installed windows etc then when I hooked up my second ssd it messed windows up and came up with a blue screen saying windows has ran into a problem, just to double check the issue I unplugged that ssd and it booted straight through to windows no issues...

Anybody know what the issue could be as I've now got only 1 ssd to use

Cheers

Did you have windows installed on the old SSD in the past? I've seen it cause issues before. Try pressing your boot device interrupt key (F8 for most motherboards I've encountered) and see if selecting Windows boot manager manually or specifying the drive to boot from makes any difference.

Yup, sounds like it's booting from the old drive.

Go into the Bios and set the correct drive as boot.

Connect your main SSD into port0 if possible.
