I'm switching my PC to a new one and just need to keep my files safe. I moved the SSD from my old machine to the new one. On the old setup it starts normally, but on the new it boots directly into Windows logo. Also, I'm transferring data from my dad's old PC with Intel 520 240GB specs—ASUS PBZ77-V LE i7 3770K GTX 760 SSD, 180GB, 1x8GB DDR3, 1600MHz, paired with a 550W power supply. It worked fine on his system too, and both drives are Windows 7.
BIOS and UEFI are essentially the same, but UEFI offers more interaction with the MOBO. If you're using only one SSD connected—likely your own—then the problem may stem from the drivers, possibly the chipset driver. Try mounting your SSD as an external or data drive and booting from your father's system; this should restore access to your data.
