Are you still receiving the boot device not found error message? I have attached a link below to an article that will walk you through troubleshooting this error message:

also make sure you have no USB devices attached that could confuse the BIOS. Or, in the BIOS (F10), change the boot default to show the SSD drive first, at the top of the list. Also, update the BIOS. That is often critical for some of these errors

I would upgrade the firmware for your Intel 520 SSD to LB3i. 

Here's the enhancements:

For the Intel SSD 520 Series models:
- Provides improved PHY margin setting to prevented losing the link to the SATA drive.
- Provides the response time when the system resumes from sleep (S3) mode.

You can find this on the 8470p support page under firmware

or follow this direct link.
