Hey there, footballguyFps!

I'd follow @captaincharisma's suggestion and start the troubleshooting by unplugging the HDD and leaving just the SSD connected. Besides swapping the SSD in another SATA port on the mobo, you should also try connecting it with a different SATA cable. If these procedures don't work, you should check the motherboard's official website for any updates on the SATA controller and chipset drivers. While on it, you might also want to check the BIOS version of your mobo and make sure you got the latest one installed. Be careful when undating the BIOS verison (firmware), it's a pretty delicate procedure, so follow the mobo's manual instructions precisely.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted.
