So i bought SSD Samsung Evo 850 Basic 250GB, finally, and of course first problems started on day one. After i installed fresh windows 8.1. on SSD, i booted it without any problem (extremely fast, i was like wooaaa, happy again like a little child first time in zoo).

Then after installing some apps and stuff i got spyware on some torrent site, so i decided to fresh install new windows, because i have issues with clean installation and clean icons in descending order of colors on desktop and stuff.
Anyway, installed again windows, i got default restarted by setup. I dont know why but it booted from my other windows from HDD i got before my new ssd. So i restarted again and got stuck on post screen without booting to windows. And when i tried to boot from HDD i got same result, but i managed to install new windows over it somehow, so HDD windows is working now.

I tried like 12 hours with many many methods found on this site and others, but no success with SSD.

Tried booting partio magic, but i cant see ssd anywhere, because when my ssd is plugged i cant load anything. Cant load installation, cant load partio magic, cant load recovery. Tried to switch sata cabel and sata connection, no success.

BIOS can see my disk, and its listed in but when i try to boot with him plugged, nothing happens. Also i tried to boot on friend laptop, and i got same results.
Tried to boot linux but cant when ssd plugged.

Also, when i plug in SSD when i am on my HDD windows i can see it in device manager but not in my computer so i cant access it wrom anywhere, and i got weird lagging and my usb devices doesnt work when i unplug them. When i unplug SSD, everything works again after restart.

I got very sad, and my child happiness died with this ass ssd, so i am asking you for rescue my happiness and my ssd. Thank you in advance.

Sorry for bad english, i am unicorn.

Welcome to Tom's Hardware community, unicorn! :D

I get the feeling that I can relate to your tech bad luck, because it happens to me all the time!
Great job with the troubleshooting! I think that the best way to determine if the fault is in the SSD is to plug it on another computer and see how it will get detected there. It also wouldn't hurt to test it (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1926483/ssd-diagnostic-tools.html)
Another thing you should definitely check out is the SSD firmware. Check the manufacturer's website and see if it's up to date.
I hope this will get you back the 'child happiness'! :)

Keep me posted though, so we can get to the bottom of this!

Thank you for answer but sadly, SSD is now on better place, in Valhala...drinking beer with Intel and AMD gods. Rest in peace his spirit it is.
I delivered his lifeless precious body to brave WSW (Waranty Servis Wariors) and they said in tears that he is dead now, but he died braverly in great battle of two Windows armies. So in replace i got his younger son Samsung junior seeking revenge and he is ready for andvantures in great lands of circuits called Asrock-land.

So i will pick your, SuperSoph_WD answer as solution because i like you, and your wellcoming message.
Hoping to see you in better way fixing others problems, not ours ;)
 


LOL! :D
Totally made my Friday more awesome! I'm glad you fixed your issue, though!
Farewell on your many more adventurous conquests to come!
