Pc won't boot

It's been running fine for 12months give or take then just stopped the other day. Power was still on as was the monitor. I restarted it and it said there was a problem with Windows, it won't repair or let me do a complete reinstall so I'm guessing it's the crucial ssd that's gone. There are always 3 clicks before it goes off too.
I don't have another blank hdd to try so just after other options or things to try before I get another

I tried that as I tried the sata cable the storage drive was on

Left the power cable in but that's it

I'll give it a go I just would have thought not being connected to the mb would stop it having any influence in boots as it doesn't shut down I just get a blank screen

Still the same with the other drive disconnected. Could the clicking just be graphics card shutting off?
That's what I thought but I can't even do a clean install

Replaced ssd and seems fine now
