In order to boost performances of my PC HP Pavilion 17, I tried to replace the original HDD WD10JPVX-60JC3T0 (1 TB) by a Crucial SSD disk CT480BX500SSD1 (480 GB).

Now, when I try to start the PC, it does not start at all (nothing on the screen, no fan starting at all), as if there were some kind of short circuit. I can't even see the boot sequence.

As soon as I put back the HDD, it starts again so it seems that I did not damage the PC when opening it.

Any idea where it can come from ?

Do you think it is a powering incompatibility ? I looked on the Crucial web site and they seem to say that the SSD is compatible with HP Pavilion 17 series.

Thanks
