[SOLVED] There's a problem: Reboot and Select proper Boot device, or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key.

[IsaiahA]

Okay,

I just built a gaming pc yesterday and I'm have problems with "Reboot and Select proper Boot device, or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key".
I then went to the MSI Click Bios 5 and pick Hard Disk: SATA SSD for my Boot Priority because it's the only one I have, but it's still telling me to Reboot and Select proper Boot device.

Is there anything that I'm doing wrong??

Unless you have installed an operating system on that SATA SSD you will get that message. If you are attempting to reuse a Windows install on that SATA SSD, that usually doesn't work.

There's no way I installed an operating system on my SSD because I actually haven't gotten to actually be on my computer, because right when I turn it on it tells me that same message, then like I said I go to MSI Click Bios 5 I put SATA SSD as my boot priority and doesn't work.
Maybe I'm not understanding?? Thanks, this is my first gaming pc so I'm sure I won't understand things like that. Anymore ideas?

Will it help if I told you my SSD brand?

Right.
You need to actually install an operating system on the drive.
It currently has nothing to boot from, and is asking for that.

From a different working PC, you create a bootable USB or DVD.
