Blue screening

Ok it's not the RAM because i sent back the RAM, the CPU and the motherboard like 3 days to find out why i was getting no video signal. The engineering report said the RAM and motherboard were fine.

However i did fix the issue, i forgot to go into the BIOS and open the SATA ports. Basically the PC was trying to load the OS but couldn't find it, but now i have completely different set of problems.

Every time i try and run one of my games they stop responding and crash, i am pretty sure i have the latest drive for my video card. I also cant seem to get rid of my ASUS motherboard software(am now using a MSI board). Every time i try and ASUS suite that crashes. I want to try and wipe my SSD and reinstall window 7 but i can't even do that because now, my PC wont read my external optical drive.

I could install the MSI drivers but with the drivers already on there i am worried about something going wrong.

And last but not least every time i try and shut down or restart my PC, it takes like 10mins to shut down than i get a blue saying

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
 
I haven't reformatted, the SSD with windows 7 on it is the same when i had the ASUS board. But i don't know how to reformat, the board wont read the optical drive with the windows CD in even tho it works when i plug it into my laptop.

Can you check in device manager? Its basically a driver conflict. Check for exclamation marks and see if you can update the drivers from there. Try plugging in the drive whilst in device manager and then scan for changes, it may pick it up. Failing that, check the make of the drive then try and locate the driver folder and get rid of it, the download drivers again from makers website.
 
Ok so i went into the BIOS to see if the optical drive was showing up this is what i found (sorry for the bad quality pictures i cant find a USB stick or i would use the print screen function in the BIOS)

As you can see there is a UBS drive in there somewhere.

However after changing a few things, i can no longer get past the BIOS and don't know what i did and how to undo it. This is what i get when trying to boot from my corsair SSD that has the OS on it.

Something about No device found.

This is my boot priority list

I have been trying to fix this PC for almost 7 months now, i have replaced the PSW, motherboard and CPU all were faulty but can't get this thing to work. I don't know what else to do :( .
 
Ok, the boot manager is corrupt so it won't boot windows. However, it seems that your bios does recognise the dvd drive so you should be able to boot off the disk.
You'll need to change the priority for the devices, so make the dvd your 1st boot. Restart it and it should pick up the windows disk and start to boot from it. You can then try and repair the boot manager sector.
However, as you never reformatted when you installed the new motherboard you may still have driver conflicts. Do you have anything on the drive that you desperately need to keep? If not it would be much better to do a fresh install rather than running a repair job.
