Hi guys. I'm hoping I can rescue this situation.

My PC was in the middle of the creators update installation and had rebooted itself ,its now stuck at the mobo splash screen. (Asus P8Z77-V LK) and wont boot into windows at all. I cant get past the logo splashscreen or into bios unless I unplug my SSD (crucial m4 128GB).
If unplug the SSD I'm able to access the bios as normal.

I've tried connecting the ssd to different ports but no change.
Also tried changing boot priorities and switching back to IDE to see if it kick starts anything.

I don't know where to go from here as I can't get into windows at all as its installed onto my SSD. I'm thinking the SSD has died.
 
Solution
that does sound like a classic SSD failure, if you have another machine you can try it with that might seal the deal... or a USB to SATA adapter...
