basically your SSD failed to respond correctly. I would check to make sure your BIOS detects the drive (boot selection)
and that the MODE of the SATA controller has not been changed (IDE/AHCI/RAID)
I would also check the power connections and the data connections (both ends) maybe put your connections on a different port (primary slower SATA controller)

ALSO, sometimes SATA ssd have firmware bugs, that require them to be powered on and left powered on and not used for several hours so they will run their various clean up routines.
Start with getting the BIOS to see the SSD drive.


I'm sorry but I had a difficult time understanding what you said in the vid.

Could you please elaborate by listing all of your system specs? MOBO, CPU, GPU, RAM, etc.

What is your boot drive? SSD or HDD?

If SSD and HDD, were both connected during the OS installation?

How was the OS installed? Clean install? Clone from another drive? Torrent?

Oh yeah sure!

Intel core i7 4770k @3.5 GHz (never did OC)
Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H
Gigabte GTX 780
Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8 GB (1866Mhz but mobo is rated up to 1600Mhz. never been a problem though)

Boot drive is a Samsung 840 EVO 256GB SSD.

Built my system in February 2014. Clean install of windows 8.1. Had some trouble updating back then but I just did not update for a while which was fine. A few weeks back I installed windows 10.

Thanks for your interest!

Thank you for your reply. Oddly, I could not boot into bios when my ssd was connected. In the end, I fixed it myself, more or less. My SSD would only be detected if I switched sata ports after every reboot. Why? I don't know. I will not try to look for the cause and fix it. I got important data off my drive by using another HDD from another computer.

I have marked your answer as solution to give you a good rep or something and in the end, your comment was a solution.

Thanks you for your help!
 
maybe a firmware bug in the SSD, or FASTboot problem. Just don't know
