Greetings, friends,
Long story short, I put together a custom rig after waiting 2 months for an RMA-ed motherboard.
More often than not, I receive this message:
Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.
From what I gather, my SSD (which is my primary) doesn't wake up when I boot the system. In other words, I don't see it in the boot menu (I have 2 other HDD and a burner). My SSD is on the second sata and I already tried swapping it out with a new wire and different sata slot. My specs are below:
I've tried a number of things, but it hasn't helped. I'm open to trying things a second and third time. I noticed my SSD also tends to lock up every now and again, which forces me to do a hard reboot/reset. It sometimes takes about 10-20 resets to get BIOS to see my SSD. Things I've done already is updated the firmware to the SSD and updated my BIOS.
Much thanks.
