AMDPRO · October 1, 2017

Hi,

My rig only had a Hard drive, so I went out to get an SSD. I installed the SSD and then ignored it, while playing some games off of my HDD. Then, I decided to contact Microsoft after I made an error redirecting my downloads, and they tell me to reinstall windows, and that will both move my OS from HDD to SSDand also fix my issue.I began the reinstallation process, and then left for dinner. When I returned and turned on my monitor nothing happened. After a while it booted into windows with all of my old files. After 5 seconds, it said it had to repair windows. Then my computer shut down. Then it began booting into bios. After a while, It no longer even posts. PLEASE HELP

Since the two storage drives are the devices in question unplug both and see if it'll POST. It should either take you to the BIOS or you'll be greeted by a black screen with grey text that says "Boot Device Not Found".

I’ve tried that. It booted once and now no longer boots at all.

Pretty easy solution. Just remove both drives then put the HDD back into the case using the exact same SATA Cable headers. Try to boot. If that doesn't work then hard boot the computer (hold power button in until it powers-off). Let is stay off for about 10 seconds the restart it. Press the Delete key as soon as the computer begins to power-on. This will take you to BIOS. While there, look for the Key that will reset BIOS to default settings. Most likely F5 or F7. After that, press F10 to save the settings. Your system will either reboot after you press F10 or you will be asked if you want to reboot. Click Yes and Save changes.

Let us know.
