Specs:

Clevo W650SZ

Intel Core i7 4700MQ

8 GB of Samsung RAM

120 GB Crucial m-SATA ssd

Intel HD Graphics

(Respond if you need more specs.

 

This afternoon, my PC BSOD'd itself. So, I reboot the PC and got this error.

(Image 1)

I figured SSD might have gotten dismounted or something so I took apart the laptop (2 screws) and unplugged and plugged in the drive. Did the same on the RAM and the Wi-Fi card. When I went to reboot, I get this. 

(Image 2)

Welp, next step. *grabs the lubuntu 16.04 disk* *try linux without installing* *open gparted* 

So the drive is visible and I can see the partitions but when I try to open it with file explorer it gives me an error.

 

Also, the BIOS splash screen changed after it BSOD.

 

I also tried with a drive from my other system, a Gateway ML-6731 and it booted.

SSD storage corrupted?

Maybe check SSD's life with another computer. They can die at once without warning. 2 of my SSDs died on me like that so I still stick to the good old hard drive as usual boot drive no matter what others say about fast boot times

I can't put the SSD in my other computer because it's not an mSATA.

Go into your BIOS and check your settings. Looks like after your BSoD your BIOS reset to default settings or something and boot mode is now legacy instead of UEFI. Also disable network boot.
