I just built my first PC and it has been working great the past few weeks, and I got a new SSD so that I could put some of my steam Games onto it. My motherboard knows it's supposed to boot from the HDD inside the PC first, but whenever my SSD is plugged into the usb port, the motherboard all of a sudden doesn't know what it's supposed to boot from, it seems, and it just gives me a black screen. Basically these are the situations...
1. When I turn on the pc with only the hdd connected, everything boots up normally
or
2. When I turn on the pc with the hdd connected and ssd connected externally, it doesn't boot from hdd and it gives me a black screen
Why would just plugging the ssd externally cause it to not boot up correctly?
sorry if I sound confusing, I'm happy to explain it more if need be
