So I went and got myself a new SSD drive and I installed it and everything worked perfectly fine. After shutting down and starting up the PC again, suddenly I get this "Reboot and select proper boot device" message. So I wondered if the problem was on the new SSD so I unplugged it and the computer booted again. A bit later, I tried to plug the SSD in again and it suddenly booted but after shutting it down it didnt. Did that 2 or 3 times but now Im sick of having to unplug, and plugging it in back and forth... Anyone who has ever encountered this problem?
 
Solution
It could be that the new SSD is plugged into the first SATA on the m/b, just boot into the BIOS and change boot order so that the system drive is always the first to boot.

Well, it was that simple... I actually tried to do it but I wasnt able to enter BIOS since my keyboard had no power but I cleared CMOS and suddenly it asked me which drive I wanted to boot from and I chose the drive with the OS obv. Thank you for your reply.
