I've had this MSI A68HM-P33 V2 for roughly 1 year and 3 months now, came with a AMD Athlon X4 840 and a 4GB SDRAM Kingmax, I had my gpu for over 2 years now, a Radeon RX460 and an HDD Toshiba DT01ACA050thats older than 6 and had been reinstalled 4 times.
Now, to my problem.
I have a Teclast 240GB A800 SSD which I don't think is older than 8 months but was bought from a retailer known to sell 2nd hand hardware.
I installed my OS there with the thought that it's faster than my old HDD.
After I boot my PC I am met with the EFI shell and when I check the board explorer in BIOS the SATA port 1 where I have my SSD is empty.
I found out that if I unplug and plug in the PSU cable and restart, then spam the button to enter BIOS the board explorer sees it and recognizes it.
After I save and exit by putting it to boot from the SSD the PC resets and puts me in EFI Shell, when I type exit and return to the BIOS the SATA port is empty again.
I've tried:
Thanks in advance!

I've tried:
Switching cables
Switching ports
AMD-RAID BIOS launch
Rearranging Boot options
Disabling and enabling win8/8.1/10 configurations
Disabling fast boot
Restoring defaults
Overclocking
Resetting hardware monitor to defaults(for some reason it says my CPU temp is dead frozen at 128C and fan speed at 1850)
I welcome all suggestions and will ask on different sites and forums as well.Thanks in advance!
