win 8.1 freezes on startup

[ekene]

After installing window 8.1 on a client laptop i noticed window freezes while booting. I have tried startup repair, it did not work, tried system restore, it still did not work.Now after several forced power down the pc is showing no OS found, how can that be when i just installed windows.

You killed it. See above.

The drive is SSD

The drive is SSD

Which does not make it magic.

Interrupt enough writes and the file system on any storage device will become corrupted and unbootable.

Check SMART on SSD. See if any of the attributes indicate something concerning. Most important to pay attention to are Reallocated and Pending Sector counts.

The run a read-only sector verification scan to sort of confirm SMART findings.

If all is well, then something else is wrong.

P.S. None of these are destructive in terms of the data on the drive.
