Windows 8 wont boot from SSD

Go to solution Solved by TopHatTimes,

The sata cables on the ssd side seem to have been torqued when the side panels were put on and moving the system only made it worse . After taking off the side panel and loosening the the tension on he cables, everything resurned to normal. WATCH WHERE YOU PUT DEM SSDS

I resently built a new computer with windows 8 on it (specs below) and everything ran great for some time. Until I moved the system across the room, idk if I shut it down incorrectly or what but won't boot (it would occasionally boot up but mostly gave a black screen with a blinking underscore in the top left corner) into windowsome anymore,  I've tried about every windows utility , but nothing has worked . After the first 2 or 3 boots it goes back to the black screen. I've also wiped the ssd and reinstalled windows clean, didn't work, (when windows runs , it is slow on and off ) how can I get  this thing to boot in a stable manor ?

Asus z97 mobo
Intel i7-4790k
3x samsung  850 evos (one boot, 2 raid 1)
EVGA Gtx 960
32gb kit of Klevv ram

Check everything is connected inside, you may have dislodged or disconnected something. The fact you've re-installed then it still didn't come up seems to suggest this.

It came up after re-installation , but only lasted for a few boots . ive already checked all the sata connectors on the motherboard side, but ill check the SSD side
