BIOS not Detecting SSD

[GhostDoll GodSlayer]

I have a computer here that doesn't boot into windows (Windows 10).

The PC has been running fine for years but my cousin said he recently left it on for a while, it went into sleep mode, when he got back to it nothing worked, he couldn't click anything and had to hard reset it to turn it off.

When he turned it back on the problem started.

It keeps booting to the BIOS, and it's only showing the 1TB hard drive, not the 250GB SSD where windows is installed.

And no matter what we try it just keeps loading into the BIOS, not even showing the SSD to set it as boot priority.

Any help?

Happened to me with the exact same SSD (and a different z87 board).

 

Kinda just fixed itself after I fiddled around with physical hard drive config a bit (I have a 60gb ssd with windows 7 on it space for diagnostics n stuff).
It seemed to fix itself once I plugged that in to see what was working, tried booting into the 60gb and it booted onto windows 10.

I mean IDK how it fixed itself, but that's all the advice I can give you from the issue I had.

Which is exactly the same as yours.

First thing first unplug it and the power cable and plug them back in. That's more common than not. If you can get it to show up but it won't boot off it you can try unplugging the other one. Even setting the right boot priority sometimes they can hang up and never do anything due to something with the MBR but isolating the drive to itself it will fix itself after a boot or two, might be what happened to the dude above. If it shows up but hangs at "DMI pool data... " and never does anything then swap to boot order to a different drive, reboot, and swap boot order back to the correct one and reboot again and that usually fixes it.
