Bios setting does not support boot device

I was trying to determine whether another power supply was working but I think i fried my brothers SSD/HDD's.  His PSU is modular like mine, but has 6 pins for everything, with a red one for GPU. I took the regular 6 pin from his PSU modular and plugged it into my PSU, but my PSU has 6 Pin for PCI and 4 Pin for other.

 

Now his SSD is not being recognized on his MB, getting "Bios setting does not support boot device" message. Is there something I can do to determine if it is fried? I read online that a bios install for that specific error message works. Should I try a different SATA cable?

It's possible. Do a hard reset to defaults on your BIOS first (refer to your motherboard manual on how to do it, it might be a physical button on the board if it's new, or a jumper switch if it's old)

PC: i7-3770k, GTX 670, 16gb 1600mhz, SSDs only, Corsair K70, Razer Deathadder, Windows 10.

You tried powering up an SSD with PCI-e power?

 

I'm so sorry but if that's the case, Then that is the most stupidest thing I have every heard of in my entire life!!

It's not a race to the bottom.

in my defense, I was confused by the fact that the modular plug to the PSU had the same pin type connector. Would not be a problem if they all had the same standards
