Reboot and select proper boot device

So I’m stuck on reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and select a key. I don’t know what to do and I’m debating if I should reinstall Windows. I got this screen because I tried to Overclock my gpu to some random high speed as a joke. The gpu couldn’t handle it and it crashed. 1st time it crashed I could load back into windows. It crashed again after like 2 minutes on windows and after it crashed, it brought me to the reboot and select proper boot device. I’m starting to think Overclocking my gpu made windows fail or something. My windows is located on the SSD so I don’t know why it isn’t booting into windows.

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATE: I got it working and now I’m able to get it into windows, but there’s a catch. I installed windows on my hard drive and now I can get into windows again. But now, my SSD isn’t showing up in the windows explore. I’m starting to think by oc my gpu, I somehow killed my SSD. But something’s also odd. My system detects my SSD, but it shows up as 0 MB out of 0MB l. It even shows up in the bios. I wonder what’s happening.

Tried that. That did nothing 

Time to wipe and reinstall Windows. The crashes likely corrupted the drive.

Three thoughts:

  • Have you tried removing the GPU and booting without it, with your display plugged into the mobo?
  • Have you tried moving your boot drive to a different SATA port?
  • When you say that you've cleared CMOS, do you just mean resetting to defaults in BIOS, or have you unplugged the PC from the wall, removed the coin cell battery, left it out for 10-15 seconds while holding down the power button, then putting it back in?

One more that came to mind: do you have a second computer or a laptop you can try to boot onto that Windows drive from?

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

1 I have not tried booting into windows without the graphics card in.

 

2. I tried unplugging and replugging the SSD in

 

3. I reset the bios to default settings in the bios and I haven’t actually tried to reset the CMOS on the motherboard. Frankly because I don’t know where it’s at. 
 

I do have an extra laptop laying around my house somewhere but I can’t seem to find it.

Here's the order I'd try things:

  1. Unplug everything, remove the CMOS battery, then reinstall it like I said above. To reset CMOS on the board, the EZ-mod foolproof way is just to pop out the shiny metal coin cell battery for 10-15 seconds then reinsert it. Afterwards, just acknowledge the BIOS reset when prompted (don't enter BIOS) and see if Windows boots.
  2. If that doesn't work, remove the GPU and try to boot that way.
  3. If that doesn't work, leave the GPU out and plug the SSD and plug it into a different SATA port on your motherboard. Unplugging it and plugging it back in will do nothing for you if the port or controller were damaged.
  4. If that fails, then it's kind of down to figuring out if your motherboard itself was damaged.

Unless you were on a custom VBIOS, a program like Afterburner isn't going to let you do anything that would permanently damage your card. Given that you tried to OC to a ridiculous number for funsies, I think it's safe to assume you haven't installed a custom VBIOS to your card, but if you bought it secondhand, the previous owner may have. What's more likely wrong, if anything is really unfixably wrong, is that your Windows installation was forked by the GPU failure. Even that's not totally beyond repair: look up "Windows 10 repair install"

Goddammit I can't believe I didn't think of this: your boot order. Reboot the PC, press F12, and on the screen when it asks which drive to boot to, select your Windows drive. Do that before anything else, because if it's just the boot order, this just became really easy

I overclocked in the MSI afterburner. Also I didn’t buy it from anyone else

Also do you mean as unplug everything from the mobo?

I also tried that booting into my SSD where my windows is located.

Ok, go through the rest of the list I posted up. If that all doesn't work, test out the SSD in a different system to see if it boots. If it doesn't, it's probably just your Windows installation. If it does, there's something going on with your motherboard, but I still don't think that's the case. Afterburner won't override the card's VBIOS and push voltage above and beyond what it's set to handle.

That's the one. Push against that silver tab next to the D and it'll pop right out.
