As the title goes.
This forum has helped me a lot in the past but this time I couldn't actually find anyone with the exact same problem so here goes.
Thing I did:
Changed bios setting for sata from AHCI to Native IDE
Because:
I needed to boot from a cd, the cd drive didn't show in the boot devices list and as I recalled that was the exact setting I had to change before when I needed to flash my hard drive sleep timer and now I needed to wipe my old Samsung ssd for a new one I had cloned it to.
Thing I did afterwards that might have made it worse:
Force shutdown when it was stuck in trying to boot from the old ssd into a bluescreen so I could unplug the new one (so I don't accidentally wipe it too/instead) and put in the boot cd.
Things I've tried:
Unplugging and replugging;
GPU, RAM, All sata devices (not replugged but that shouldn't matter), CMOS battery + power cord, switching monitors/video outs.
It was originally a G3620 prebuilt with some self brand motherboard, radeon HD 7870, i5-3550P and 16gb ram. The only thing different is that I've got a 1070 strix and an ssd+3 HDDS now in it really.
Also I don't really know what category to put this in, hope a mod moves it if it ends up in the wrong place.
So how do I fix it? Because it seems whatever I try I can't even get it to boot into bios.
