Samsung 860 EVO won't boot in my laptop

I just purchased and installed a new Samsung 860 EVO into my Asus X44H laptop. I used the Samsung Migration software and successfully cloned my fresh copy of Windows 10 64 bit. I was able to boot up fine and log into windows. I immediately launched the Samsung Magician software and verified the drive was recognized and functioning properly. I did a reboot through windows to make sure it would reboot with no problems. I immediately ran into an error PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable. I had never seen this error before and know that the SSD was securely inserted into the SATA port because I was able to boot into windows right after installation the first time. I reseated the drive, got into the bios and made sure the new 860 EVO was selected as the primary boot device. I saved and exited the bios and it's failing to see the drive and let me into windows. I even updated my BIOS to version 211 which is the latest version from Asus' website. After several reboots and changing the bios to OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS, I still can't get the drive to work. I also put my original Hard Drive in that was working before purchasing the EVO SSD. That drive no longer boots either.
