Restart system and choose correct boot source
You're facing a tricky situation with your system after an unexpected GPU overclock. It seems the crash might be linked to that attempt. The fact that Windows restarts you to boot options suggests instability, possibly caused by the overclocking. Your SSD is still recognized but not showing up in Windows Explorer, which could mean it's failing or misconfigured. After fixing the issue, you managed to get Windows running again, but now your SSD isn't listed. This inconsistency hints at a deeper hardware problem. Keep monitoring the system behavior and consider checking the SSD health through diagnostics tools.
Core I7-8700 with 16GB RAM, 2666MHz clock speed, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, GTX 1060 graphics card, 6GB of additional memory, B360M Xtreme motherboard.
It's time to clean up and restart Windows. The issues probably damaged the storage device.
Consider removing the GPU and starting without it, keeping your display connected to the motherboard. Have you shifted your boot device to another SATA slot? When you say you've cleared CMOS, are you referring to resetting the BIOS settings or disconnecting the PC from power, removing the battery, letting it sit for a few minutes while holding the power switch, then reconnecting? One additional thought: do you have another computer or a laptop available to attempt booting from that Windows drive?
