Reasons for SSD Reset Port Error
The SSD reset port error may happen in the boot process after installing a new SSD and changing the boot drive. Although you can boot into Windows and access the system, the error may eventually lead to system crashes.

# 1: Fix SSD Reset Port Error by Setting BIOS to Boot from New SSD
Here is the tutorial on setting BIOS to boot from new SSD.
Have you changed the boot drive in the BIOS from the HDD to the new SSD after cloning the drive? If you haven’t already, please read the following tutorial to change the boot drive.
Step 1: Strat your computer and start hitting ESC, F1, F2, F8, or F10 key on your keyword. One of the listed keys can help you access the BIOS screen depending on your computer manufacture.
Step 2: Enter the BIOS setup and wait for the BIOS setup page to appear.
Step 3: Navigate to the Boot tab by using the arrow key on the keyword.
Step 4: Set your new SSD drive as the first boot drive and save and exit the BIOS setup utility.

# 2: Fix SSD Reset Port Error by Connecting to a Different SATA Port
If the issue still shows up or if BIOS fails to detect the SSD in the boot menu, the problem could be with the SATA port or the connector. Therefore, in this situation, you should connect your SSD to a different SATA port.
Step 1: Remove the new SSD from the current SATA Port and connect it to any other SATA port.
Step 2: Reboot the system and check if the issue is resolved.
