No boot drive

Hi i just build my computer a couple of weeks ago. 

And now its starting to cause some trouble... ( once in a while)

 

Specs: 

i5-6600K

Maximus hero VIII 

16gb Dominator DDR4 ram. 

 

i have 5 harddrives in total. 

3 mechanical. 

2 SSD. 

 

One of the SSd's have windows on it. 

 

My issue:

 

Once in a while, every third or fourth bootup, it can't find the boot drive...

Not even in BIOS. 

 

Then i can shut down, unplug a sata cable of a random harddrive, boot into bios, change boot order to the correct SSD which is suddenly present again.

 

Then reboot, and reconnect the sata cable. And everything works fine...

 

I have done this 4 times now.. 

 

 

I am clueless... 

 

Hope you guys can help to solve this issue...

Wish I could help, however I have this same problem and I only have one extra hard drive with an SSD as my boot. I have to unplug the SATA cables and plug them back in for my mobo to recognize it. (only does it once in a blue moon but it does happen)

GPU: XFX RX 7900 XTX

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
