So this happened a few days ago. I was using my PC, got hungry and went to the kitchen for about half an hour leaving my PC on. When I came back I noticed that my PC was turned off (It wasn't in sleep mode because when it is a white light is flashing). Turned it on again and a message appeared "Reboot and Select proper boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device" (I have a 120GB SSD where I have Windows, some programs, games etc. and a 1TB HDD where I store the rest of my stuff). I rebooted and went to BIOS and my SSD wasn't there, it completely vanished. I shut off my PC opened it up and switched SATA cables tried other SATA ports but that didn't help the SSD was still gone. 
Later I looked my problem up on some forums and found a thing called Power Cycling but only on threads for some Crucial M4 SSD.
Is my SSD dead? Is there a way to fix it? Please help!
