mac stuck on white screen, only chimes, doesnt respond

hi,

so i recently upgraded my macs hard drive to an ssd (mercury electra 6g ssd), i installed it and everything was fine (running fast with multiple tabs etc)

it’s been about 2 weeks now and i was just on youtube and using blender on a different window when suddenly everything froze and i tried to shut down my mac, at first it wouldn’t respond and was just frozen in my last used window, then it finally went dark and i started it up, i was met with the apparent evil white screen and panicked. i tried booting in safe mode: white screen, reset the pram: it restarted and chimed and brought me to a white screen again, i tried to boot into recovery mode: white screen. nothing i do is helping.

any help would be very appreciated, at this point i’m debating just putting in the old slow hard drive so at least i can see my home screen and figure out if it was the ssd that failed
