Hey guys, need to get it fixed ASAP.
So here's how it goes. Was playing in the middle of the night when suddenly the screen blacked out.
Thereafter, when I tried to turn it back on.
It shows me this.

Tried entering/choosing the bios but only got me this:

*Background info*
This error message have been showing for about 4 months

And also, my windows 7 was originally from my pc that i bought off the shelf.
Thereafter, I seek help from outside to help me fix up a custom gaming PC and port over my windows.
Everything was replaced from the casing to the graphic card.
Only item that wasn't replaced was the motherboard & processor



Anyone knows what is causing this error?
I read up and it says either a dead SSD/my bios got corrupted.
Tried unplugging and plugging it back, as previously experienced having a loose connection, but sadly its not this time.
Let me know if more info is needed.

are you able to see your SSD or HDD in bios? do check also if your HDD or SSD cables are plugged in properly. sometimes this small problems can be overlook.

which one is your drive? i believe its the Toshiba drive? if it isnt, possible your drive is dead. can try taking out that drive, power it up without the data cable connected and see if it spins. can feel or hear. if none, likely is dead.
if SSD, plug to external drive and see if can detect in windows. not much of trying this part...

Yep, it should be Toshiba one. :o
I see, alright will check it out. Butttttt, both the SSD which contains my Windows OS and the hard drive which stores my data is only about a year old. :(

Don't quite get what you mean by "if SSD, plug to external drive and see if can detect in windows. not much of trying this part.."

okay. what i meant was that. try using the SSD like a external hard drive and see if windows is able to detect it. if no, quite high chance your SSD is dead.
