Hi everyone I am new here and wasn't sure where to actually post this. I need some help as to why my pc is doing what it is doing.

My system specs
Asus extreme rampage black edition
Intel i7 4930k 6 core processor
Corsair h80i
16gb ddr3 ram 2400mhz g-star
Samsung 830 250gb ssd
Windows 7 home premium

My system was working fine last night, I get home from work today and the system only boots up to where windows loads into the desktop. Instead all I receive is a black screen with graphical corruption at he top of the screen.

Now if I go into the bios everything looks fine and I have tried placing my ssd drive into different sata connections and the same happens (I have my ssd in the first 6gbps slot)

Now while booting I have tried holding down F8, this brings up a window to choose boot selection, I choose my ssd again and press F8. What happens now is it flashes up with the choose boot option but then quickly selects windows 7, not giving me time to choose another option, I'm not even sure if this has the option of safe mode here.

I have tried the same process using f12 and the same thing happens.

Is there a way to get the system to let me choose and option on this menu, so I can get into windows in safe mode?

I have read on a few forum posts with people saying the ssd drive has died, but my system still picks the drive up which I would have thought wouldn't be the case if the drive is indeed dead.

Any help with this matter would be great fully appreciated as I'd rather not have to buy a new ssd.

Thanks in advance.
 
A little further more info for you.

I took my ssd out and placed it into my laptop, I got it to boot up and found that I had taken the option away from being able to choose a boot, I can now choose safe mode.

If I enter this it begins to load and the graphical corruption happens again when it starts to load \windows\system32\drivers\asstor64.sys

A quick google search and this turns out to be Asmedia 106x SATA Host Controller Driver.

Now could the reason be these ports have failed, or is it something to do with my graphics card? I have an asus direct 2 GeForce gtx 680

Again any help would be great.

Cheers
