BIOS can't set my SSD as Boot option

I can't set my SSD as a boot option. Long story short: I was playing League of Legends and when the game tried to start, it completely froze. After restarting, it only boots into the BIOS. The BIOS detects my SSD and all the information, but the only boot option I can select is UEFI: PXE Intel Ethernet.

How is this related to this sub?

It's got the troubleshooting tag.
We're in a BC building subreddit.
I don't see how a piece of hardware not appearing in the bios would be unrelated to the act of troubleshooting.

Common sense.

Clear CMOS and see if it comes back.
Try moving the drive to a different M.2/SATA port next. Possible the port died for some reason.
If it doesn’t then either the drive died or Windows died. You might be able to salvage Windows if you can make a bootable USB to fix it but that requires a second computer.
