I guess that you've assembled your computer 2 years ago. I also guess that you installed win 7 by your own.
You've already wasted a lot of time trying to fix it.
My suggestion is to start from scratch.
- Update your BIOS
- Boot from your old HDD and backup your files (that I suppose are now on the SSD)
- On BIOS set SATA=AHCI or RAID, not ATA or IDE.
- Disconnect all your HDD leaving only attached the SSD.
- Install Win 7 on the SSD, advanced mode, erasing all partitions, than create new.
- Install all drives and verify on Device Manager if there is no drives missing. Reboot
- Update Windows without "Recommended Updates". Reboot
- Install all your software.
- Restore your backup
