This situation is driving me mad.
I just bought a bunch of parts for a new build (it's my first one), and after putting the system together, it booted up just fine. I am a newby, so I did have to reboot a couple while trying to figure out the BIOS. After rebooting a few times, however, the hard drives just simply stopped being recognised. I'm getting a message saying "no bootable device found" even though I have a samsung SSD and WD HDD installed. I haven't installed windows yet either. What's interesting, is that my disk drive also stopped being picked up, so I'm worried that my SATA ports died shortly after powering up for the first time. I do know that the BIOS picks up external thumb drives, however.
I have tried reverting all BIOS settings to their original state, I have (obviously) tried rebooting a few times. I have tried replugging and checking the SATA ports and connections on the motherboard. I have tried unplugging the drives. I have tried pretty much everything. I've also checked extensively online to see if anyone else has had my issue, but none have it quite the same. Either their BIOS didn't pick up the drives on the first start up, or the drives disappeared after using it for a while. I don't know of any scenarios where all drives and peripherals suddenly stopped being recognised prior to the installation of any software.
My specs are as follows:
i7 4790k processor
Gigabyte z79x-gaming-7 motherboard
Samsung 850 EVO SSD
WD caviar black 1tb HDD
Corsair CX 759m power supply
MSI gtx980ti gaming 6g gpu
16gb gSkill ripjaws X ddr3 1600mhz ram
I am in dire need of some information.
