Hello all, I just build a brand new computer and I've had it for about 2 months running on a WD Blue HDD. Here are the specs.

I JUST bought the crucial mx100 512GB SSD, installed it a few days ago, I wiped the hdd, and fresh installed Windows 8.1 onto the SSD. Everythings been running great for past few days since I got it last thurs. Last night I was playing Modern Warfare 3 and all of the sudden the whole game froze. I couldnt ctrl+alt+delete, nothing... I didnt really think anything of it because this had happened before, it would finally f/c and i could just restart the game.
This time after about 5+ mins of waiting, a "light blue" screen came up and said "Windows had crashed, gathering info to help solve the problem" and a spinning progress... thing....
The computer restarted, showed bios, then after that it was just a black screen that said "boot mngr is missing, press cntrl+alt+delete to restart"
I freaked out.... thought my SSD was toast after a few days of use.
So i rebooted again.... same message. again.. same.....
So out of curiosity i went into the bios. and it didnt show my SSD in the HD list. I clicked on "boot priority's" and there was my SSD, set as the secondary drive.... So i clicked on it to set it as the main boot device and it worked.
The only thing is, every time i reboot it gives me the boot mngr missing message and i have to reset it. Does anybody know whats going on here? Did something get messed up when it crashed? should I re install windows?
thanks in advance
