Hello,
I was too lazy to turn my computer off the right way, so I shut off the switch on the back of my PSU. I forgot that Intel Xtreme Tuning utility was still running and I was overclocking my core i7-7700k (MSI Z170M mortar). when I tried turning it back on, I got the BIOS splash screen and then a message that said "Reboot and select proper boot device - insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" (meaning that it's not recognizing my OS drive). This happened once before and it was fixed after I tinkered around a little bit with it and doing random things such as changing storage mode from AHCI to RAID and back again, putting in a Windows installation disk and selecting "Repair your computer" and using system restore (which, by the way, did not work. just told me to specify which drive to perform system restore on and I couldn't get it to work), resetting CMOS, taking out all other drives, and putting my OS drive in a different computer. I can't remember what exactly I did to make it work again last time. I'm pretty sure it was XTU, because last time, the first thing I saw when it worked again is the screen saying that the previous overclocking settings did not work. any suggestions? I'll keep tinkering around with it in the meantime
