Computer won't boot past asus bios screen

[J0E24]

I have a custom built computer, running Windows 8 and a asus Maximus motherboard, a ssd and a hd, today for the first time, my computer won't boot past the bios screen, it allows me to press f1 and go to the bios setting screen but won't let me go into the Windows mode.

Any ideas?

Load optimal defaults in the bios

Would that be Load optimized default settings?

In the bios I loaded the optimized default settings and restarted it and still nothing.

I did get something on the main screen that told me to press f1, above that I saw a s.m.a.r.t status bad, my OS is installed onto my ssd, could my ssd have gone back and just need to install the OS onto my regular seagate 1TB hard drive?

I am having the exact same problem. I am on Windows 10, with ASUS bios v1401, but the same thing happened with Win 8 & v401 bios. When it trys to boot it can't find the SSD and goes to a black error screen. I reboot and hit F2 to come to the ASUS bios home page. There is a little window showing the drives and you are supposed to drag the icons to the proper order. Well, by SSD isn't shown, only the HD and the CD drives.

If I hit F8, I can see the SSD and boot from there, which at least lets me into my machine this one time.

Going to the Boot menu in the Advanced mode, I can't see any way to identify the drives or to adjust the boot order.

Any help would sure be appreciated.

Thanks.

So now, I went back into bios and selected F5 to load the defaults. For some reason it worked! I dunno why, I tried it before.

It is now booting into Windows. Go figures.

Hey sammyq2, so I figured out after research that my ssd might have went to crap, so I unplugged it and installed the OS onto my HD and just went about as if my ssd went to crap which sucks. I lost everything, but that's what everything was pointing too, it was saying s.m.a.r.t error and it was my ssd as my main drive.

I tryed doing the default settings in the bios and everything so I'm not sure
