Computer not getting past bios

As title states, I can't pass bios screen on my desktop that I have been using for almost a year now

Worked fine yesterday then today the system wouldn't turn on. Well, it would but it would freeze on the booting MSI screen or would go black. I can launch into bios but attempting to go into safe mode freezes the computer. I have tried swapping out ram kits and launching with no GPU. I have a 970 + 4690k

My Build: 4690k @ 4.7 GHz, ASUS Strix 970 @ 1316 MHz, H105, Corsair Vengeance Pro @ 1600 MHz, H440, RM750

Unplug all drives including any CD/DVD drives and see if it boots and stays on. If so, then connect the drives one at a time and recheck boot after connecting them one at a time. If you have a defective drive it will either freeze or reboot.

                  Did I help you to fix your problem or at least did offer somewhat valuable advice? Consider giving my post a "informative" or "thumbs up".

I tried this and when I booted with nothing it would go to shell, with ssd it would go to black screen, and with hard drive it would ask to input the boot drive and when ssd and hard drive it would go to black screen

Seems like the SSD could be toast. Which drive is your boot drive?

OK  Let's verify that the SSD is bad, OK?

Download HIENS Boot Disc. Burn it to a cd. Insert it into your CD/DVD drive and boot into your BIOS (Make sure that your SSD and your mechanical drives are unplugged from the motherboard and your CD/DVD drive is plugged in!) Get into the bios and select Boot to CD/DVD or if you have the option to boot from a different device and select the CD/DVD

drive. Upon booting the cd will give you options of what to boot to: select "mini windows XP. If all goes well then you will get to a "live" version of windows XP. Once here you shut the system down and connect your mechanical Hard drive and boot back into the cd again....repeating the same process as above. Once into the live cd you will be able to explore the hard drive you have connected if desired. Now shut down again and disconnect the mechanical hard drive and connect the SSD and repeat the booting process to the CD as before.

 

If the system gives you a black screen .... the SSD is toast and is un-recoverable.

If you are able to boot into the cd then you may be able to fix things....

Lets get to this point first before moving forward.
