Well... did you clone the data from the SSD to the HDD, or is it a different Windows install? If it's the latter, could just be a Windows issue on the SSD.

When you're booted up in the HDD and run disk utilities to check and test the SSD what are the results?

If you format the SSD and install Windows, what happens then?

To answer your question, definite maybe. You need to do more troubleshooting to be sure. Doing a little bit and asking for guesses might not yield good results. I know guesses are faster and easier, but they suffer from low accuracy.

The only surefire way to know is do the troubleshooting work until you know what the results are. Until you don't need to ask for opinions, because you have definitive proof one way or the other.

its a new windows on the ssd

The manufacturer should provide diagnostic tools.

Run chkdsk /f c: from an administrative command line, and then run SMART health check scans.

With no clue what hardware you have, Windows blue screening doesn't mean much if that is what you mean by "shut down."

Though there are some SSD and motherboards that don't work correctly until the firmware on one or both are updated, it's rare.

You should make sure your SSD is running in a mode supported by your board because some boards have limitations on NvMEs and how many you can use at a time, even if they have enough slots to house two in some cases they can only support 1 (based on CPU).

its an crusal ssd and i have an Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 with an i3 4160 with 24 gb ram

if they are different os installs, the working os on the hdd is fine, and system should be stable

if its a new os install on the ssd, did you install the mobo drivers?
can you define 'shut down'
is it bsod/reboot?
turning off?
display going to sleep?

disable windows auto reboot on bsod so it actually shows the error instead of rebooting

check windows logs to see what is causing the shutdown or error

it could be something telling windows to shut down,
you can set steam controller to turn off the pc, or many other things

yes the ssd has all drivers but the hdd not

Run health check on the drive?
If SATA, try a different sata data cable.

Which Windows OS?
OS version + build?

Could also just be coincidence and has a corrupted OS or core files on the SSD.

Where you getting all the drivers from?

Good question, are they correct ones. Also this can happen with a corrupt hibernation file if one is in use.
