Samsung SSD will not boot. Can be seen in BIOS.

My computer today suddenly just gave me the blue screen of death with the code 0xa000021a. It wasn't doing anything at the time. Just sitting with the screen saver on.

Attempted the repair process in Windows however did not work. After restart now the HDD will not boot or be recognized (says hard drive not found). I can see it still in BIOS. I have tried the following:

Wiping the drive and performFresh install of Windows 10

Tried all other esata cables and ports (I have a regular HDD with windows 7 on it, and it boots perfectly every time with all ports and cables)

Updated bios

Checked and removed all USB dongles, etc. Made sure all hardware is properly plugged in.

After performing a fresh install, and restarting the system, it now says "invalid system disk"

So....wtf is wrong?! Do I have a bad drive?! Only had it for 7 days.

This sounds like a complicated machine. Why not set out the hardware in detail and its uses.

force drivers to have signature disabled

Sandy bridge i7 2600k
Asus motherboard
MSI gtx1060 6gb
1 Samsung 500gb SSD
2 Western digital 1.5tb HDD for file storage.
I just watch movies and play some light fare games on there like mass effect, sims, etc.

The windows 10 install and SSD is about 7 days old.

Force drivers to disable signatures? Why and how?

where does esata come in ? Are you complaining that an esata drive is missing ? Where is the Win 7 drive ?

 

[ruckus007]

Sorry I meant SATA. my phone autocorrected it.

I found out it was because of UEFI. However, my bios doesn't have the option to toggle it 🙁

What info said it was because of UEFI, and what has that to do with your problem ?
