I end up taking the battery on the MB out for 30 minutes, plugged it back in and it worked. No real question, just trying to figure out what I actually did to fix it.
Possibly a bios setting that was screwing things up. For example changing from AHCI to IDE mode or vice versa will make Windows not boot.
What were the symptoms of your dead SSD?

After POST a message similiar to this came up. Not sure if that was the exact error though.
Tried repairing, but it said I didn't have access to the necessary partition.
Tried formatting/reinstalling, but the hard drive was not showing up in the Windows 10 installation menu.
I also plugged it into my laptop with a SATA to USB adapter. No luck.
Anything other than just a defective SSD that I should be worrying about?
Also...while I am at it...before the SSD replacement, and even after I fixed the no video signal issue, when I would boot up into Windows my monitor would have problems finding a signal and would have to be turned off and turned back on. Know of any reason why this happens?
