PC keeps going into BIOS.

[KuronekoLP]

I'm not sure how detailed I can Be since I'm writing on my phone.
Pc worked fine until I installed a new hdd and switched out two other ones. But the boot drive is on my SSD, so I'm confused at how I got this issue. I looked through multiple forum threads about unplugging hdds and trying again, making sure the ssd was at the lowest data port 0/1 and even disabling fast boot. No luck what so ever.

How did you install the new HDD? If you just connect the original SSD to its original SATA port does it work?

The new 3 tb HDD replaced two of my HDD's 1tb.
I only have one ssd, not sure what original ssd you are referring to. The SSD hasn't been touched but since that didn't work, I replaced its sata port to lowest sata port slot.

Switching boot drives between SATA ports may cause issues, and I meant the SSD. Was it a clean install onto the SSD or were you using it as a cache drive? In your BIOS, is the SSD first in the list of boot devices?

You might be misunderstanding my issue. I've had my pc for a few years now and just recently purchased a higher capacity hdd. I switched out my two old hdds and replaced them with a larger capacity one. The OS has been installed into my SSD and has been for years. This problem only appeared ones I removed the two hdds and placed the new hdd. The SATA ports were not changed but I had to remove one since I removed two hdds and replaced them with one. By default, I still couldn't start into my os.

Also, I removed my hdd connection so the only drive my bios is picking up is the SSD. When I try to reboot from it, it just starts into the bios ones more.

I think you may be misunderstanding me, and not explaining yourself, but I can only repeat what I have already said. When you change SATA ports you may have to change boot order in BIOS, and I was only determining whether the SSD was a cache drive in case system files were on your mechanical HDD's. Like I said, put the SSD in its original port and check that you have the correct boot order in your BIOS. Patience is a virtue..

That was my fault, I didn't explain well enough. Currently the only device that is plugged into my sata ports is my SSD. Which means that the boot order automatically sets it to the only boot
Option. I've also tried plugging my SSD
To different sata ports and still the results appears.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from KuronekoLP : "Refuses to boot OS but always goes to BIOS."

I switched out two of my hdd's today for a single larger capacity one then tried booting my PC. I got a black screen with a few "_" showing up after, then it goes to the BIOS. The OS is installed on my SSD and worked with no issues until i decided to install my new HDD. I have now removed all connection from my HDD to the PC and the only thing connected is my SSD that has my OS on it.
It boots into bios just fine, reads my RAM, CPU and GPU just fine but keeps going into bios when i try to start it from the SSD. The SSD is the main and only boot option, i have tried different sata ports and still no luck.

So did you INSTALL windows to your SSD or copy/clone it over from your old HDDs?

I suspect what happened is your old HDDs have the primary or system parition/designation on them.

Put the old ones back in, open up Disk Manager and screenshot what it says in in the bottom center portion about your disks.

If you're willing too, the easiest option is to just reinstall windows again to the SSD after setting up your CD/DVD/USB device as the primary boot option, and then you can connect your new HDD, and format it and assign it a Letter or whatever from within windows at your leisure.

Windows is indeed installed on my SSD. The old hdd were cleaned before I removed them, so there are no files in them. I really don't want to reinstall windows again, I have a lot of files I don't want to lose.
Not sure what you mean by primary/system partition. However, if there is a way to just install windows files and keep my settings exactly the way I left them, then I wouldn't mind reinstalling windows.
