So I was on vacation for 3 weeks then when I got home I was surprised because when I tried to open my pc, it was automatically boot on bios. My boot drive was the Samsung 850 evo and the bios wont detect it..
I tried all this and nothing works:
Updating the bios
resetting CMOS 
resetting Bios setting
tried the ssd power cycle 
remove all other drives except the ssd
I was very frustrated so I bought new SSD ,the WDC green 120gb ssd. Then I tried to install windows 8.1 and I was very surprised because samsung 850 evo was detected on installation drive list.

 it said windows can't be installed there so I was hoping that it can be saved by windows repair by refreshing it but unfortunately it said the DRIVE WAS LOCKED?

I remove the sata cable from Samsung 850 evo and  tried to install windows on the new SSD with no problem. when I'm booting windows with samsung 850 evo hooked up it causing me infinite loop on windows logo so I remove it and windows boot with no problem.

Before I leave for vacation the SSD stats on SAMSUNG magician was, health is GOOD and it has 24TB of writes 

It was a hassle to RMA on samsung because they said you need the receipt of the drive before they will service you(i already lost it). I was disappointed because I thought to them was like Seagate don't need any proof of purchase to RMA their drive.
So anyone is there away to save my samsung ssd? eveyhelp will be appreciated.
Thank you very much :)
