Hallo Galaxus Team After installing this SSD (4 TB) into my PC (empty slot on the mainboard), computer is restarting himself around and around... When I take it out again everything is coming back to life. Is that SSD broken/damaged? The PC was also purchased here on Galaxus. My PC is Acer Predator PO5-615s. Can anyone help?
Have you installed a PCI-Express SSD before? Did you make it fit correctly by tightening the screw to hold it in place. I could imagine the Acer Predator has one or two M.2 expansion slots but no screw on the opposite end to hold the SSD in place.
Check the manual if there's a SSD capacity limit of some sort of if there's recommended brand for compatibility.
If the SSD was broken, my guess would be, it would not be detected by the system. A boot loop because of the installation, smells more like a bad connection causing the POST processes to fail and start over.
