I had a strange issue happen with my boot SSD (Crucial M4) and I've tried everything I can think of with no solution.
I had a perfectly working set up for the last 5 years with not a single issue. Recently, a friend of mine built his PC but had a DOA GPU which we discovered after we installed his GPU (RX480) into my PC for testing (for the testing, all I installed was AMD Radeon 17.6.2 and Unigine Valley). When I came to turn my PC on a couple hours later, I came to discover that my computer no longer recognises my SSD (even at a bios level). The strange issue is that when I plug my SSD into another computer (also in AHCI mode), I am able to read all the data and even boot the install of windows on that drive. In addition, CrystalDisk said it was at 92% health.
I have tried every SATA port/cable combination I have as well as power in put for the drive, but this has not changed the result (the port/cable combinations were tried on other HDD's in my system and they worked without issue). I have tried both IDE and AHCI modes as well as flashed my motherboard to the manufacturer's latest BIOS drivers. I have also attempted to rebuild the boot partition in my SSD using command prompts, but this has not resulted in any progress.
For note, I have flashed my Crucial M4 to v070H.
I am all out of ideas as to what the issue is or how to fix it. Any suggestions?
