Bios randomly changes boot priority

Ghost0625 · April 6, 2021

*FIXED* hello all. I have been having a weird issue as of late. seemingly at random times my bios will change the boot order and obviously wont boot. I could be playing games and the system would either blue screen or the screen would just go black then when I attempt a restart, i would discover that the boot order has changed. it seems if I leave the computer off for more than a day then the boot order will change and I would have to go into the bios and change it back. I am running two 1TB M.2 drives both bought at the same time less than two years ago. just checked the manufacturing website and I am running the most current bios. any suggestions?

seems like a connector issue on the mainboard/adapter if you use any, try with only the boot drive and place on different slot.

Check the CMOS battery, it used to be a 2032 battery.

*SOLUTION* A complete wipe of my system drive and reinstalling drivers seemed to have solved this problem. I suspect a bad chipset driver is to blame for this. either way my system is purring quite nice now. Will post again if anything comes up.
