After Installing SSD, PC wrecked
Recently I installed a new SSD to my PC to install some MIDI libraries for music composing. At first the SSD was not recognized so I switched the cables to prove that the problem was not in the motherboard or the cables themselves. Windows ran into Automatic Repair, and it failed to fix my PC.
After taking it to the experts, they managed to make it work by replacing the BIOS battery. When I arrived home with my desktop PC, this message dropped "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key".
I brought the PC to the experts again and they connected every single part of the PC from scratch. It worked fine for a long time (almost a month) and one day a message dropped out that said something like: "Do you want to delete Windows's old version?"
I accepted, and some time later I was going to shut down the PC, when it suddenly said: Update and shut down. I clicked on "Update and restart" I left and when I came to see how it was doing: "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key".
It won't even enter BIOS. Now I am about to go nuts and I don't have a clue of what may be happening.
How can I fix this?

Don't randomly swap drive ports unless you know what you're doing. The BIOS and MBR selects boot locations by hardware IDs. If you swap drives around you'll get that all jumbled up. As for "It won't even enter BIOS", either you're wrong or you've got REALLY big issues now. Failure to enter BIOS indicates a hardware failure.

Sorry to hear about what happened. It stinks. But the reality is what you describe is too idiosyncratic for anyone here to really help again. The best advice—and I know you are going to hate this—is to go back to the “experts” and get them to fix it.

@duct_tape_coder Thank you. Yes, it will not even enter BIOS. I have tried many times using the delete button. When it turns ON a screen appears (with the ASUS logo). In the left inferior corner of the screen, it's writen that I have to press delete to enter BIOS.

@JakeGould what do you mean with: idiosyncratic? Yes, I am planning on going back to the "experts".I just hope I don't have to buy a new PC.

I found that the problem was actually the motherboard. It could not support two SSD's at the same time. I am going to take it to technical support and tell them to leave the PC with just one SSD. Thanks
