I want to preface this by saying that I did check other articles and followed those instructions to no avail.
I don't know what I did. I installed a new fan/heat sink in my computer. Afterwards, I am ONLY able to boot from Windows.
If I just turn my computer on, or reboot, or if it restarts itself after an update, my computer is just black screen. Then I have to hit restart, go into the ASUS bios, and manually select my Hard Drive from the Boot Menu.
I went in to advanced mode, removed all other hard drives from boot priority, made sure that my Kingston was the only drive in boot priority.
I noticed that from the boot menu, there was a P2 next to my Kingston (windows), and a P1 next to my Samsung. I said to myself, "are those priority labels? maybe I switched the wires by mistake?" I opened up my case, switched the wires, and when I started my computer, there was now a P1 next to my Windows drive. All must be right with the world. Checked all of my boot priorities again (only the windows drive listed there), and restarted. Fail.
I am at my wits end, it is probably something so simple, but since I am quite the novice,
