I've been running Ubuntu 18.04 and earlier on this motherboard with an HDD for a year and took an SSD from another working PC and tried to do a fresh install from a live USB. The install went fine but when I try to boot from the SSD I get a line of scrambled colors across the screen like this | | | |.
The SSD is recognized in BIOS and I can see it and move files in the live USB. I'm using the same SATAIII port and cable I used for the HDD. I've updated BIOS to P1.90 the latest version. SATA mode is set to ACHI. I can't really think of anything else to try. I've read other threads of people using SSDs with these boards.
