I've got a bit of a problem with my computer. I recently bought a new power supply because my PC wouldn't start, and now it seems to boot up, but it's not detecting my SSD. I thought the SSD might be faulty, so I bought a new one, but I'm still having the same issue where it's not showing up in the BIOS. I've watched a ton of videos on how to fix this issue, but none of them pertain to my BIOS version, and I can't even get into Windows at all.

Did you by chance reuse the cables from your old PSU when you installed the new one? That could also cause some issues, depending on the connections.
If your BIOS isn't recognizing anything connected to SATA, you could try booting from a Windows installation disk to see if it picks up the SSD there. Also, make sure the power cable for the SSD is securely connected!
I get the feeling something might be off with the setup. Have you considered that the old PSU could have potentially damaged your SSD or other components? That's a tough call, but it happens.
It might be worth trying a different SATA port to see if the problem continues there. Sometimes the port can malfunction and switching it up can do the trick.
It sounds frustrating! Have you checked the SATA cables? They could be faulty or not connected properly. Sometimes they can go bad and cause issues like this.
