A while back my computer blue screened, and when it restarted it tried to boot from my HDD, because my SSD had dissapeared from the sata config. This has happened to me a few times, so i did a hard reset (remove power, hold power button), which usually fixes it, i just have to reconfigure the boot sequence. This time, the SSD shows up and I can override to boot from it, but it isn't an option in the boot sequence.

The workarounds you're doing are workarounds to a rather normal booting process. If you can get into BIOS, can you check and see which version of the BIOS you're currently on? If you're on Windows 10, which version of the OS are you on? The primary boot device should be Windows Boot Manager as opposed to the SSD.

On another note, can you list your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:

Include the age of the PSU if it's been carried over from an older build.
