Windows 10: Cannot boot from SSD and cannot acces BIOS either

Hello, please tell me if this isn't the right subreddit.

I reinstalled Windows 10 on my SSD (nvme) but before that I copied the SSD to my HDD incase something goes wrong. I managed to reinstall Windows 10 but something was wrong with the boot configuration. It listed my HDD with an active, system partition even though nothing was on it anymore. So I reinstalled Windows 10 again but it couldn't install it on my SSD (it gave me an error code, I forgot what it was though). So I removed the HDD with the system partition, so I could boot from SSD. But now it just gives me a screen saying I need to choose the correct Boot Device. I can't even access my BIOS anymore. What can I do??? (I know for sure that my SSD is not dead, I ran tests on it like a week ago saying it was at 94% health) I'm really close to panicking.

Cannot boot from SSD, get sent back to BIOS

I have recently got a new SSD for my desktop and wanted to do a fresh install of windows and replace my current HDD, giving me a fresh slate. I go through the standard windows installation with a USB, and unplug the USB after windows has been installed onto
the SSD, the computer will then restart and I get put back into the BIOS. My issue is that once i do this, every-time, no matter what I do when i try to boot to the SSD I get sent back to the BIOS, here is a list of what I've tried:

• Changing boot order
• unplugging every other SATA cable except for the one connected to the SSD
• plugging the SSD SATA cable into the lowest number SATA port on my motherboard
• Plugging in the SSD SATA cable into the port used by my disk drive
• Enabling and disabling safe boot in the BIOS
• enabling and disabling CSM in the BIOS
• Setting the boot CSM to "UEFI only" (does not recognize the SSD anymore)
• Installing windows from the USB with the SSD being the only drive attached
• using the same SATA port as my unplugged HDD for my SSD

When in the BIOS the SSD is the only possible boot device recognized by the motherboard, the BIOS does recognize the SSD as a bootable drive. I've checked the SSD when booting from my HDD and all the necessary windows files seem to be there. When attempting
to boot i get a black screen with a single flashing white line in the top left, then it proceeds into the BIOS.

I have no idea what's wrong and I have found nothing that can fix it. if it's necessary here is my hardware:

ASUS Z97-A

Intel I5-4670K

NVIDIA GeForce 1070

8 GB RAM

A sound card (if that's relevant)

Storage:

HDD: Seagate 1TB

SSD: WD 1TB SSD "3D NAND" (New Drive)

 

Cannot boot from SSD, get sent back to BIOS

Ive updated my bios and installed windows onto the ssd with CSM disabled, and tried everything outlined in your suggestion and it still only boots to the bios and will go no further.

 

Windows 10 SSD Boot and Sleep faliure

Windows cannot stop the BIOS recognising the SSD. If at any time you can go into the BIOS and the SSD is not listed then you have an (intermittent) hardware fault. It does not matter what the precursor steps are if the hardware was OK it must be listed

Step 6 is categorical, you have a hardware fault. BIOS device recognition is always before drivers load so they cannot affect the process
