Weird

Either you plugged something in wrong

Dust can be conductive. Clean the SSD connector(s) with isopropyl alcohol and a non conductive brush or a Q tip.

#

Also I don’t recommend windows 10 because it will be out of support soon

#

I don’t think it’s over voltage. It wouldn’t be getting all the way to the SSD in that manner

#

Still try cleaning the contacts

Well don’t use water unless it’s distilled but even then

#

You should have isopropyl alcohol if you’re working on electronics
