Boot media not detected

[abdulp34]

I recently took apart my computer for cable management, but when i started it up again, it says there is no boot media detected, even though my ssd with windows is registered in the bios. Any help is appreciated.
My specs:
Processor : AMD FX-6300
Motherboard : Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
Graphics Card : Asus Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti
RAM : 1x8GB Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 1866Mhz
Power Supply : Corsair CX430
Hard Drive : Western Digital Blue 1TB
SSD : Kingston V300 120GB
Case : CiT Spectre Black
Operating System : Windows 7 from disc but upgraded to Windows 10

Thank you for your time!

Hey there, abdulp34.

Since you've had to disassemble the computer, even if the drive is recognized by the BIOS, I'd suggest that you make sure that all the cables have been properly seated. You could also try booting to Windows with just the SSD connected to the motherboard, to see if the same thing happens. Also, try the SSD with a different SATA port and cables, to see if you'd be able to boot to Windows. If that doesn't work, you could try connecting it to a different computer as a secondary storage drive and test it with a diagnostic tool, to see if anything unusual pops-up.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.
