I've recently put together the following build and upon booting if I don't enter BIOS I'll be taken to a screen where it's searching for eligible SSD. It won't find my SSD unless I go into BIOS. In BIOS I've change the boot priority to 1 being my bootable win7 PRO on a usb flash drive (i've tried a cd-disc too). I try and set my kingston to boot option 2 however I can only pick it when I go the the force boot override option. If I boot from there to my kingston I'm restarted onto a screen where it says invalid boot device restart or insert software etc.. Once I'm there I can no longer enter BIOS and have to reset the CMOS via the battery.
Any advice would be useful. This is not my first build and I've used the USB to do a fresh install on my own personal system in the past so I know it does work.
