Previously had a problem booting to DVD. Thought it was an issue with my the DVD drive or CD-ROM so I moved the SSD to another computer and installed Windows there. Works fine and everything.

Moved it back and I'm facing the same issue. It simply won't boot up through the SSD. Shortly after POST, it simply gives a black screen then goes straight to the BIOS. I've changed the boot priority, removed all other SATA devices and tried directly booting to disc through the F8 boot menu, but in all cases it simply returns me back o the BIOS.

Anyone has any suggestions?

I have a suggestion - You did it wrong...
You cannot move a SSD or HDD from one PC to another and expect it to work.
When you install windows, in configures itself (drivers and stuff) based on the configuration of the system you have it on.
Once you move it, it will not recognize the new system, and fail to work.

You can move the Windows installer to a flash drive (make it bootable with something like Rufus), make the flash drive first in the boot order, and install Windows using that.
