Why won’t my PC boot from my SSD anymore?

My computer was working well two days ago. About an hour ago, I attempted to open my video editing software when my PC froze. I restarted it, and it got stuck on the ASRock start up screen. I restarted it two more times, and then the boot menu opened. The boot screen displayed that my PC was trying to boot from my hard drive instead of my SSD, which is unusual. I attempted to change it back to my SSD, but the computer wouldn’t even detect it as a boot device. I turned my PC off, unplugged and replugged my SSD, and then attempted to boot my computer using it to no avail. Not sure what else I can do, the PC will boot from the hard drive (although it is extremely slow). I built the PC myself roughly 3-4 years ago. Please help me out here, I need it for school and work!

Not anymore, BIOS is what I meant by boot menu. Apologies for the confusion.
