@cb219 I’ve encountered a weird issue like this before when upgrading an old system with an SSD. It might be a long-shot, but it might be worth trying. Try seeing if you can temporarily run the laptop’s drive at 3GBps sata instead of 6GBps. The SSD can easily handle the faster speeds but I’ve encountered weirdness before where I had to throttle down the SSD’s throughput to make sure the system was stable. The older system’s components didn’t handle the faster I/O too well, (In my case, the system main board was supposed to be able to handle 6GBps sata, but it was like that Hacky kind of support where the manufacturer says it’s as fast as a Lamborghini, and you really just bought a Honda Civic from the 90’s) Hopefully it’s something else that’s easy to fix and not this cause it pretty much neuters the system. Good luck though

@gronostaj there's nothing to update anymore.
Didn't have any more updates even when I passed it to my sis. I sure tried to take of that.
Well what an adventure with this SSD...😑
my sis' laptop is from 2013-ish(?) and has/had a slow HDD in it. I wanted to speed it up, before her study, so I bought a new internal SSD (no new laptop wanted).
Created a bootable USB, exchanged the hard drives and install the OS on it. Seems easy enough...
The laptop restarts to finish its process ... laptop shuts down immediately, no warning whatsoever. 😳🤨
Start it up, loading screen, fan gets louder and louder ... instant shut down.😳🤨🤨.
Redo process, this time landing on blue-screen, error code critical process died? ... instant shut down again.🤔
Restart from old HDD, normal.😐
Retry with boot USB and reinstall SSD. Setup process copying files, meanwhile instant shut down.😳 Please don't tell me!😩 Since every part of the laptop was working, except the new inserted SSD, I thought "FUCK not a broken SSD!😣"
I had my own PC with internal SSD slot, so tried to find out, whether it would be broken...
All starting up fine??🤨🤨
Ok then? Finish the setup for the third time now ... everything up and running.😐🤷
Normal shut down, unplug, plug back onto laptop, it works. HOW?? WHY?? 😕
Why the fuck are you suddenly working? 😐🤷🤷🤷
That's some magic...
