Hi,
I'm an complete noob when it comes to HW (as you can tell below).
After about a month of use and a recent update of the audio drivers the PC froze and crashed. When trying to reboot I get the "reboot and select proper boot device" msg. In BIOS the SATA port with the DVD-drive is found, but not the main SSD or the secondary; it says not present. I don't have a copy of the OS so no possibility to reinstall on another HD.
Could it be faulty SATA cables, MOBO or SSD?
specs:
MSI B85M-E45, Socket-1150, m-ATX, B85, DDR3, 1xPCIe-x16, USB 3.0, VGA, DVI, H
