I just purchased a samsung 850 ssd today and after plugging it in my pc was fine. No problems with booting, the new SSD was recognized immediatly. Besides this SSD I also have another SSD just for windows + a HDD.
So I went ahead and try to create a new partition to start using the drive, that's when the problems started. Windows gave an error that the ssd could not be formatted. Tried it about 3 times and failed everytime, so I thought maybe windows was the problem, tried another program but that didn't work either.
The next thing I did was restart my pc, went fine the first time, however I still couldn't get the ssd to create a partition and work properly. The second time I restarted, windows stopped booting, I went back and checked the UEFI, the new ssd was still showing as connected and my main ssd was still first priority for booting.
Ive tried to restart a few times and after a while it gave me the windows is corrupted/broken screen instead of showing nothing at all. However when I remove the new SSD, windows loads just fine without any problems at all.
