Hi guys,
I am having issues booting my rig and for the life of me, I cannot figure out why.
I recently received a replacement PSU from Firepower (replaced a blown OCZ 850w PSU) and upon slotting it into my system, I have been having nothing but problems.
Everything is connected properly, system powers on, goes through its usual screens and goes to the BIOS (which I have been manually causing since the boot issue).
If I let it just run on its own and I don't interrupt to go to BIOS I get an error asking me to insert bootable media then press any key.
I have the boot devices set to use my SSD which has Windows 8.1 on it, but for whatever reason, it won't progress past the insert bootable media error screen.
The concerning bit is that the SATA information in the BIOS reads every slot as empty which is a bit alarming considering the 4 devices that are currently plugged into the SATA ports. Almost like it doesn't know what to do with the drive...
I have tried re-installing (updating) the BIOS from 0701 to 0901 via the ASUS Flash back button but that has proven useless (flashes for a couple of seconds then goes solid). PNY 16gb formatted to FAT32 with BRenamer file in root directory. So obviously that isn't working too well.
I am thinking that for some reason my rebuild has the MOBO confused as to what it is supposed to look for on my SATA ports, but that seems ridiculous at the same time.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
