After installing a brand new SSD, I get this immediately after turning on my computer..http://m.imgur.com/cFWwy4k

My computer detects the new SSD in Bios and I have passed harddrive diagnostic tests. Changing the boot order to HDD first doesn't solve things either. I am stumped :??: Any solutions?

Put your HDD back. Get a usb to sata cable and then download freeware Clonezilla. Hook up your new SSD to a USB port with the cable , use Clonezilla to copy your HDD to the SSD. Install the SSD into your computer and it should boot right up.

The thing is I think my harddrive is dead, which is why I replaced it. My computer just suddenly shut down one day and it wouldn't boot to Windows. Startup repair, safe mode and everything would just lead to a black screen. The harddrive test failed immediately too so yeah..
