Long story short, my PC worked fine literally minutes before I started it up again. Now it just won't boot. I've cleared the BIOS, but can't think of any way to fix it. It is detecting my ssd, that's the REALLY strange part. Would be mega useful if someone could find a solution.

Main System:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (OC) 

Motherboard - Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II 
RAM - Crucial Ballistix 3200 Mhz 16 GB (8x2) 
GPU - Asus Dual RTX2060 12GB
Case - Corsair 4000D Airflow
Storage - Crucial BX500 480 GB - Seagate BarraCuda 7200 RPM 2 TB
PSU - PowerSpec 650 Watt 80 Plus Bronze (looking for replacement, its loud)
Cooler - Hyper 212 Evo with two RGB fans

NAS:

CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 (had on hand)

Motherboard: HP Slimline S5610F Motherboard from Ebay

RAM: EVGA Superclocked 16gb

Storage: 2x 4TB WD Blue and old asf caviar se16 250gb because I had it and its worked for so long I don't trust anything else as much

GPU: Integrated on the mobo
Case: Old PowerSpec case from Micro Center (that can hold 8 hard drives)

PSU: EVGA W3 500W

Cooler: AMD stock cooler at PS4 RPM's that keeps the cpu at 14-24 degrees

That means your bios can't detect your OSs boot loader, this can happen due to multiple reasons, like screwing around with device manager in windows(happened to me), a corruption in the boot loaders data, a malfunctioning drive, etc. The easiest fix is almost certainly reinstalling your OS, though not everyone has the possibility, luckily I was just about to do that when it happened to me.

Yeah, that is not a possibility for me. I have a storage drive, but I still have a lot on my ssd for quick access. Do you think windows recovery could fix it?

Maybe just make a bootable 10 ISO and run "startup repair".. would be easier.

I edit my posts more often than not
