As the title suggests; I'm unable to boot my PC, and get an I/O error.
At first I figured my 1 year old 840 EVO SSD had failed (This is my system drive), but I hooked it up to another PC, and there seems to be no issues with it (No corrupted files, errors accessing it etc.)
I've tried booting with the system repair disc I created (With the PC in question shortly after building it around 14 months ago), and it says it's not compatible withe the version of Windows I'm trying to repair, even though it was created with the same version of Windows.
I've also tried booting with all of my other HDD's and BR drive disconnected, and get the same error.
My SSD is detected in the UEFI menu, as well as all of my other drives.
The majority of my data is stored on my other HDD's, and I have a backup of my user folder from last weekend on one of them, but all of my application data and app installs are on my system SSD, so I'd rather not have to reformat (I can't even boot into Windows, and I'm not even sure if I'll be able to reinstall from a disc very easily, since I get the error right after my boot logo).
Any suggestions on what to try next? I left my computer on, and went out today. When I got back the screen saver was on, and when I moved the mouse I was returned to my desktop. I clicked on Google Chrome and it opened, but then my PC froze, so I did a hard reset and was greeted with the I/O error. Strange thing is, it doesn't seem to be a failed drive (I haven't tested my other 4 drives on another PC yet, but when I tested my system SSD, everything seemed fine),
Here is a link to my system specs (Win7 64bit):
