I recently bought a second-hand laptop and switched out the SATA SSD. However, I'm experiencing an issue where a black window pops up and then closes, sometimes multiple times. This was happening even before I replaced the SSD, so I thought it might be due to malware or some malicious software. Now I'm wondering what could be causing this issue since the SSD is new.

Also, just in case, double-check your BIOS settings after replacing the SSD. Issues there can cause data loss or strange errors when booting up.
Another thing to consider is whether you replaced it with an NVMe SSD. If that's the case, make sure that your laptop's slot is compatible with NVMe SSDs. Sometimes, hardware compatibility can lead to strange behaviors like what you're experiencing.
It sounds like a frustrating issue! Did you install the operating system on the new SSD yourself? How you set that up can actually affect performance and behavior. Just checking, did you use a USB with the Windows installation tool?
