Do you have a mechanical (spinner) drive? Check your BIOS. You probably have the mechanical drive (or perhaps the DVD drive) set as your primary boot location. Your PC is looking for an OS there, not finding it, then moving to the second priority boot drive where your OS is loaded.

At least, that's my suspicion. Check your BIOS boot order. Your SSD needs to be first.
