After a normal restart my pc would boot into windows on my ssd and sit on the loading screen forever. When i put my windows install disk in to do the repair service that would also never finish loading.
I tried to use the install disk to reinstall my OS on my ssd and the install function wouldn't load either. I hooked the ssd up in my old desktop and reinstalled windows from there. It booted fine on that PC and windows ran perfectly from the ssd.
Now I have the ssd back in the original pc and it is recognized in the bios but i get the message "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key." when trying to boot from it.
I've tried resetting the cmos, I've tried booting with both sticks of ram individually. I've also tried getting this pc to boot from a bootable ubuntu flash drive that i confirmed worked on my other pc and it also failed on this one, returning the same error.
So it seems this pc is unable to boot an os from any source. I'm inclined to replace the motherboard but I want some more opinions before I take my whole desktop apart to RMA the mobo.
Everything on this computer is 8 months old and it was working seemingly flawlessly until this issue hit out of the blue.
Specs:
mobo: MSI Z87-G45
gpu: Asus GTX760
psu: Rosewill Fortress 650w
cpu: I5 4670
ram: 2x 4GB Gskill
ssd: Kingson HyperX 120gb

Damn, would have said resetting the CMOS would do it.

I hoped it would. I'll probably order a replacement mobo tonight and then try to RMA my current one since it's only eight months old. Assuming the new one fixes it I'll give the RMA'd one to fragile as a gxl prize.
