dont have another pc to use or a usb connector or I would have tried that already.

No, I said in the main post that the BIOS isnt seeing the ssd

Cant say I see any setting that looks anything like drive listing or bootloader.

I have switched the cable between two of them and also moved them on the board but still nothing, still not being detected.

Hello, So all was fine until about a week ago when I restart my PC one night and I find when it turns on again I get greeted with entering the BIOS options which isn't normal and if I dont click anything it going to a black screen with a blinking underscore. After a few days I ween out potential problems and now I think whats wrong is my SSD isn't being recognized for some reason and my SSD has Windows 10 on, so basically windows 10 cant run because the SSD isn't being found. I had this problem on an old motherboard but that problem was fixed quite easily, and doesn't work on this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How would i go about doing a hard reset? and is that like a wipe?

No new hardware has been added, and it’s never happened with this motherboard, it did happen with my old one though. And this started 2 days ago, and since the. i havnt been able to get on windows only the bios.

Neither of these two fixes worked. Thanks anyway.

I boot my pc up, and instantly get a black screen with only a blinking under score or what ever it’s called _ . And no it doesn’t enter the os after a period of time, it just stays stagnant doing the same thing. Like i said before it has happened in the past, but i updated the bios and it fixed it but i changed my motherboard a few months back and now it’s happened again but this time i can’t fix it like last time.

Ok so basically it’s happened before, it boots up and offers to enter the bios, the last time it happened i fixed it by updating the bios but this time i can’t seem to do that, and now i must have changed something i didn’t mean to because now it doesn’t offer the bios to me. Really need help on this one. Thanks

how much do you reckon I should sell it for if I sell the whole PC, since the guy isnt willing to give me what i paid back: Operating System Windows 10 Pro 64-bit CPU AMD Phenom II X6 1100T 32 °C Thuban 45nm Technology RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 803MHz (11-11-11-28) Motherboard ASUSTeK Computer INC.

just chatting with him now, he reckons that it was a good deal since he paid £544 with parts and sold it for £450
