So I have a crucial 256gb SSD with windows 7 on it. Both my SSD (in slot 0) and my HDD (slot 1) are recognized by my Gigabyte mobo. When I choose the SSD with windows though, I'll get the "no boot device detected, insert boot device and press any key" message.
I don't think its a faulty connection between the mobo and the drive, since the mobo always recognizes it and the SATA cables were changed out within the past year. I'm not sure what else it could be.
The weirdest part is that sometimes it will just startup normally and windows will load fine. The most recent time I only unplugged and replugged in the SATA cables - it still did not work. Then I walked away for 10 minutes and turned it on and it started up successfully. It seemingly does not matter what I do hardware-wise, so I'm confused. I don't think anything is overheating, the most recent time the computer was just sitting with spotify open but not playing when it went unresponsive and on startup the error message appeared.
I can give more precise information if needed as to what exact mobo and SSD if needed, but wasn't sure how much it would help here.
