EFI shell on first boot

xnoobftw

Hi, i've recently reformatted and everytime its my first boot (either a restart from windows / from off state) my pc will go into EFI shell instead of going into my windows boot manager.

when i go into bios from first boot i can see that my windows boot manager is not shown.

 

windows boot manager only shows when i ctrl-alt-del (and thus will boot proper)

 

Specs:
i7 4770

MSI H87 G43 Gaming

Sapphire Tri-x r9 290x

Boot drive: Samsung 840 evo 250gb 

 

other drives

plextor 500gb ssd

2x 1TB HDD

 

What i've tried

1) flashed MOBO bios

2) flashed GPU bios 

3) connect my boot drive to SATA_1

4) cleared cmos

5) disabled MSI fast boot (i cant enable it anyway my GPU doesn't support UEFI for it to be enabled)

 

 

I suspect that it's something to do with UEFI not playing well with old parts.

Any solutions regarding this? I can't seem to find CSM in my BIOS anywhere for legacy hardware support too
