I'm at the end of my tether on this. Every time I disconnect and reconnect my SSD, Windows goes into a boot loop. It starts up, boots to the "Installing updates page which completes fast and then the PC restarts. Once it has booted, the same thing happens over and over again. Once it fixed itself somehow, and another time it proceeded to an "Undoing changes" page where it sat for ages. I've let the PC sit for hours with no change.
Keep in mind I disconnect the SSD only when the PC disconnected from the mains, and has been drained of residual electricity by pressing the power button while it's disconnected. It's also reconnected to the same port as before, albeit with a different cable. I've tried multiple cables with no luck, so I can't be the cable's fault. The whole point of disconnecting it was to reconnect an optical drive that currently isn't connected (Can't connect it with a separate cable because of the way I routed the PSU cables), but each time I do try to switch the cable for good it goes into a boot loop.
My only guess is that it's a problem with the Motherboard or the SSD, or is this a normal occurrence on an SSD? This is my first, so I'm not sure if it is.
Specs:
i3 4130 at 3.4GHz (Using the iGPU currently)
Corsair Vengeance 1x8GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
500GB Seagate Barracuda
Samsung 850 EVO 120GB (OS)
Cooler Master Elite 311
ASUS H81M-C
Cooler Master case PSU for now.
Running Windows 8.1 Enterprise Eval until I sort this issue out.
