SSD Pooched?

[DarkArch3typ3 58]

I've had my SSD corsair force gs 240 gb for more than 3 years now. I watched a show last night then turned my pc off. I went to turn it on today and it was asking me to select a boot method as nothing was found. I checked my bios and only saw that my dvd drive was detected.

I'm not good with computers but I thought that was weird. I opened my pc. Checked the cables and everything was plugged in. I unplugged my dvd drive and used those sata cables for the hard drive knowing it works. Checked my bios again and nothing was detected. I used a different port and no detection. Switch back to my dvd and it was detected.

I picked up a new SSD and it was detected first try. Is it safe to say my other SSD is fried? Is there a way to test this?

I also had to purchase windows 7 because I upgraded my cracked version to Windows 10.

Anyone have any advice?

My setup:

Asus maximus v formula motherboard

2 4 gig corsair ram

Sapphire 7870 2 gig graphics

Intel i7 forgot the version

Corsair tx750 Watt power supply

Oh and I keep having a problem with my CPU fan. Every time I turn my pc on it says I have a CPU fan error. I'm looking at the fan and it isis working. I can try a different plug but any ideas?
