No boot drive detected

I was gaming on my pc when suddenly the monitor went off. I could still hear the sounds in the game but the monitor wasn't working. I restarted my pc and my monitor started working. Then the pc started looping at the 'Gigabyte' start screen. The Windows 10 RE isn't opening either. When I try to open it it says "NTFS.SYS stop error". I plugged out all my HDDs and re plugged them. Now it says "Insert boot drive". So I thought maybe my hdd is corrupted. I have 3 hdds. I inserted my windows 10 disk, it doesn't recogonise it. The bios too only identifies the Optical drive, the other two hdds are undetected.

It would be really nice if you help.


Thank you.
 
Solution
Sounds like the hard drive controller on the motherboard died. Have you tried plugging your hard drive into the port your DVDRW was using and then see if BIOS detects it.
Please post your full system spec.

I've never seen an error message saying similar to "no PCIe / SATA ports found".... that's overly specific for a BIOS error IMO.

Could be bent CPU pins or a damaged CPU, but that description is certainly a unique situation....
 
My system spec is --


MOBO -- GIGABYTE H110M
HDD 1- 1TB Wd something
HDD2 - 2TB segate barracuda
GPU - GTX 1060 3gb
Cpu - i5 7400
RAM - 8gigs GSkill one stick

I faced the hdd problem before too where my 2tb one wasn't detected. I plugged everything out and plugged it back, it started working. But now it doesn't help.


And yes I tried to plug my hdd in the DVDRW slot and it still isn't recogonised. Surprisingly the other hdd too isn't recogonised in any of the slots.
