Try just one ssd with OS. Then the other.
Can't be that simple though.
I'm sure someone will be along shortly with a useful reply

Thats just taking out the cmos battery right?

Also short the pins next to the battery compartment for 10 seconds. The pins are usually marked ‘clear cmos’. Or cmos reset. Then replace battery.

I had a quick look at that link. Have you tried removing all drives, reset bios/cmos and then try booting . It should reach bios screen proper even without any drive connected. Then at least you’d know your pc is fine but your drive is suspect, as per the info in the link you put above.

Edit: to enter bios you have to hit the Delete key (usually Delete but depends on your pc) as it is powering up. Sometimes have to hit Del repeatedly whilst it is powering up.
