I have a PNY 240GB SSD, Windows 10, and a GigaByte78LMT-USB3 version 6 motherboard.
On first boot, BIOS will recognize the SSD. However, it will always boot to my HDD which I use as a secondary drive, despite the SSD being first in priority in the BIOS boot order. If I go in to check that the drive order is correct, when I save and exit, on the reboot it does not recognize the SSD at all. This problem started after I left my computer on overnight to download some large files, and the computer was off in the morning. I'm assuming my power must have flickered.
If I let it boot through the HDD, in windows it doesn't recognize the SSD at all. Not under file explorer, storage, or the disk partition utility.
Things I've tried already:
Swapping cables/SATA ports.
Unplugging/plugging back in the cables into the SSD.
Removing HDD to try to force a SSD boot (It will hang at the DMI pool screen)
Resetting CMOS
Setting BIOS to the safe settings
Any help would be appreciated, I'm very frustrated and tempted to send it back (It is under warranty, but if I can fix it I want to. None of the files are crucial to me, just a pain to download all of the programs/do settings again).
