When I turn on my PC, it goes into BIOS and I have to Save and restart for it to boot. It doesn’t detect the boot drive at first. Sometimes it does. Been like this for the past 5 months
My computer wasn't booting properly for a month or two, I think it was saying boot drive not found or something. It would work if I went into boot options and picked my main drive.
The cause? I used the Blu Ray drive for the first time in years, and for some dumb reason, that was listed higher in the boot options. My computer was trying to boot into a Blu Ray of Blade Runner
Check inside your BIOS if you can add a delay to the startup or disable skips for a faster boot. Sounds like the drive need some time to wake up.
Naaah it’s fine, it’s either the CPU not making contact or I scratched the MB with a SATA cable. The boot drive is m.2 so it’s not the cable. Cos it’s started happening after I changed the CPU, and while doing that a SATA cable got stuck behind the MB and I pull it out with force instead of unscrewing the MB :) I just can’t be bothered figure it out anymore lol
