Hi,
I was playing some games with friends when a game crashed and i was unable to tab-out or crl+alt+del, i waited a few minuets to see if the game will start to respond, however after about 2-3 minutes i got impatient and force shutdown the computer, when i tried to reboot the computer it took longer than usually and finally enter into a black screen with the message: "select proper boot device or insert boot media" I was confused as this never happens before and i tried to enter the bios. I checked the boot order priorities and nothing changed, it was still on my SSD. (I have a SSD that's 128GB with just windows installed and a 3T HDD for other miscellaneous stuff)I disconnected my HDD to see if it will boot and it gave the same error, i tired to remove the SSD and same error, i tried removing the power cable and leaving it for 30 minutes and nothing changed. I then tried to boot from the windows 10 disk but it gave the same error even after i inserted the disk on the error screen where is says "insert boot media". My final attempt was to buy a new SSD (500gb Samsung 750 EVO) but no luck, it still gave the same error 🙁 . The only other explanation i have is that the chip in the motherboard is unable to find the OS, however i don't see how force shutting down would affect that?
Any help would be appreciated, im out of ideas
Sorry about any grammar/English mistakes ;P
