TL;DR I replaced my PSU and my pc has power but does not boot.
I was having an issue with my PC shutting down randomly while under load, so I just replaced the PSU. It immediately began having an issue detecting any storage device, but would allow me to access BIOS.
After hours of trying different combinations of SATA cables/ports, it recognizes the SSD, but after POST just shows "reboot and select proper boot device". I can't imagine its somehow not bootable, it was working earlier and no software changes were made. I also tried resetting CMOS with a button on the mobo, and even removed the coin battery for about 15 minutes.
There is a red BOOT_DEVICE_LED, which I understand to mean an issue with the boot drive, that is on until that reboot error. I don't remember seeing it in the past.
The only change I made was disconnecting old PSU, and connecting the new PSU (it was shut down and disconnected from power of course).
My build (I know some parts are old, they will be upgraded post covid):
Asus maximus extreme-z 4 mobo
Intel i7 2600k 3.4ghz CPU
2x4 Corsair Vengeance RAM
Asus 1060 6gb Strix GPU
Corsair RM850x PSU
Samsung 500gb 850 EVO SSD
Thanks in advance for your help.
edit: I also have a Western Digital HDD. When replacing the SSD with this, it behaved similarly except it goes straight to repairing windows, fails, and restarts. This drive should also be bootable.
