Windows 10 insider build

I've noticed the last few days my PC crashes with the Green screen of death.
Windows Insider Build ran into some problems : Critical Process Died.

I reboot the machine and it boots up into my BIOS and I cannot see my boot drive.
The only way I've found to fix it is to power the machine off and remove the SATA connector on my boot drive

Can anybody tell me how to fix this .

Regards
Grant
 
Bad SATA cable methinks... I've had a LOT of issues with those.
Also, next time.. try Linux.
 
Thats bad, seems to be a hardware problem.

Reset BIOS CMOS to defaults and see if it help.
Remove all other SATA cables from the motherboard in order to help isolate the problem.
Replace SATA cable (use a quality one) and/or change SATA socket.
Check power connections. You get such error if the main hard drive (or any other connected SATA device) get offline.
Reduce SATA speed in the BIOS (if available).
Scan the entire hard drive surface for bad sectors, booting from a test program - USB stick, etc..
Switch to SATA compatibility mode in BIOS setup (not a solution, but can it help with backups)
