Computer won't boot

[Tcarr9442]

My computer was running perfectly fine for the past year, but I was on vacation last week.  Came back any my Samsung 850 Evo came in.  I installed it as anyone would, plugged it into psu and motherboard.  Computer still worked fine.  So then I was trying to install Windows onto it, however I have no USB stick or DVD drive.  I made a separate partition and used the method of making a separate bootable partition to install Windows onto the SSD.  Nothing worked so I came back to my bios to disable uefi or safe boot so I could do it.  I noticed most of the options were grayed out and I tried to restart it a couple times but later got stuck with it getting error code a9.  Restarted it to try to boot Windows and the computer is literally doing nothing.  I'm stuck on the booting screen with error b6.  My specs are below.

Fx-8320e

MSI 970 gaming MB

MSI GTX 970 gaming twin frozr

4x4 ddr3 1600 (Kingston hyperx and Patriot)

EVGA supernova v2 750w

Nzxt s340

Seagate 2tb HDD

Samsung 800 Evo 250gb SSD

 

Please help

Are you able to boot off of the original drive? You might want to look into a BIOS update since your current version is from 12/21/2015 if I'm reading that right. According to MSI's website, there was a BIOS update on the 12/23/2015 improving SATA port detection, though I may not be looking at the right motherboard.

Just read my post again and I meant b6, however I am also getting 99 now.  I can't access my bios because the pos crashes if I do anything.  Was working perfectly fine until now

Have you tried resetting the BIOS? You can do this by clearing the CMOS. You can learn how to do this with your specific motherboard by visiting https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/970-GAMING.html#down-manual. Should be on page 39.

Just reset it and it's working again :). However I did unplug my SSD so I need to check to see if it works now
