hi all, spec is pretty much as per sig (if I wasn't watercooled, I'd just get on with stripping the thing!)
anyway, around 2 weeks ago, my PC failed to boot, and was trying to boot from my external 1TB HDD.
since then, when I boot, I have to go to the boot override section in bios, and select the drive manually.
my first thoughts on the matter were the mobo battery had died, but it is remembering my overclock as well as any other settings I change, just failing to boot from my primary SSD.
obviously, the best thing to do would be to take apart the whole build and start again, but that would cost me around a week of my time, and £30 of coolant, neither of which I can afford right now.
I'm thinking my mobo may be on the way out (asus P8P67 pro, bought on release and then exchanged for a B3 version when that all went down, so probably all out of warranty
), but was wondering if ayone had any clues as to things I can check in BIOS or monitor through windows? (long shot I know)
Cheers!
