I am trying to boot off an ssd instead of the hard drive. when I removed the main hdd and repalce it with an sdd, the laptop freezes on the Hp logo. I cannot enter bios with it freezing at press f10 to enter bios. The computer sometimes beeps when i press f10 but nothing happens. Normal operations contuine when I replug in the orignal hdd. Any help is appreciated.

There must be some incompatibility if you cannot enter BIOS with the SSD attached.  Possibly a BIOS update may help.

Please provide the Product ID or exact model name for better assistance. Preferably the full product ID including the characters after the # symbol.

 

There  is no software listed here so it does not look good.
