Hello and welcome.

-Which exact model 2008 MacBook Pro - silver or black keyboard? I assume 17" Late 2008 with silver keyboard from the details in your other post?
-Which version of Mac OS X?
-Did you partition/format the SSD as GUID and Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)?

It sounds like a temperature sensor has been disconnected/damaged, the SATA hard drive data cable is not properly seated/damaged, or the SSD is not partitioned/formatted correctly.
