SSD randomly stopped booting?

[galihaaben]

Computer was running perfectly fine before today. When I turn it on, it gives me the "Boot Driver Not Found". Not only that, but the SSD that I boot it from, doesn't show up on BIOS. I tried swapping SATA cables, but BIOS still hasn't read anything.

Yes, I am running it in AHCI mode, but I don't think that's my issue here because the SSD just isn't being detected by the MOBA anymore. I tried swapping ports as well. I recently built the PC as well, about 5 months ago.

So would this be a faulty SSD? Or is there something else that I'm missing here.

Try a different power, Check the voltage on the 5V rail using a voltmeter.

Give it external power and if it does not work youwill need to check it in the command prompt using diskpart
edit: considering its not in bios, chances are its power issue, if not power sata connection/dead ssd

Yeah, I did try all SATA and power cables, nothing changed, so I am assuming it is a dead SSD. I also tried to plug it into my laptop and it couldn't read the SSD as well. But what causes a SSD to die? I don't do anything extraordinary with it and its only used to boot Windows, nothing more. Its a Samsung 850 250gb SSD by the way. I already ordered a Crucial 500gb SSD yesterday and it should be arriving later on today.

try putting in a windows install disk, when its on the install screen press shift f10 to open command prompt
type
Diskpart
List Disk

see if you see your SSD there, if it is it might just be offline,
turn it online with
Select Disk "x" X being the SSD
disk online

see if this corrects your problem, If the SSD does not show up in diskpart, its gone. the PCB board is most likely dead.
