Hello,
sorry, if is this a wrong category. I have a problem with my build. The problem is this - I start a PC. It turns into BIOS. After pressing F10 or Ctrl+Alt+Del it boots to windows. I turn off and turn on the PC, it goes into BIOS, press F10 or Ctrl+Alt+Del, boot to windows and this repeats. I tried BIOS update, disabled fast boot, cleared CMOS, repluged and changed cable, unpugged second drive, changed CMOS battery...
I can use Windows, if I boot.
My setup:
FX 9590
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
32 GB RAM (4x8 GB Kingston HyperX)
MSI Armor GTX 1060 6GB
240 GB Kingston SSD (new, Windows installed)
1TB WD Black (a bit old)
750W XFX PSU

Does someone know, how to solve this problem?

Sorry for my english.
Thanks for your replies,

Welcome aboard.

This is correct forum area.
Assuming that new BIOS battery is good and not empty (those happen, even before "best before" date) who knows if something is starting to fail and needs "warming up" to work properly.
That CPU is as bad power hog when stressed as latest Intels and has certainly had time to stress motherboard.
Is there any difference in behaviour between cold boot and shutting down warm PC and powering it on immediately?

He means a cold boot as in it's been shut down overnight and you go to turn it on which causes the problem you are seeing, verses simply shutting it down after a long period of it being on and then just doing a full shutdown and turn back on to see if it behaves the same.

Are there any errors when booting into bios? Any messages? Have you seated the RAM correctly and the BIOS as a result is bringing you into said BIOS to try and alert you of this? Even if the memory is seated in the wrong channels, you can still boot into windows.

Another possibility is drive boot order, BIOS may not be seeing the boot drive first and thus throws it's self into BIOS and you cancelling out forces it to see the proper drive? Maybe check by pulling all sata cables from all but the main Windows drive and try to boot.

Good luck, keep us updated.
 
I tried to unplug SATA cables except SSD, nothing changed.
BIOS doesn't say anything, just shows logo and goes to BIOS. If I unplug all SATA cables, it says something like current BIOS settings don't fully support boot device and I have to go to CSM parameters and enable the boot device, but CSM is enabled.
Well, I bought this set fully fuctional 3 months ago and few days ago I made a PC with this.
RAMs are the same, good attached.
 
From what im reading here i would suggest updating your drives firmware to rule out misconfiguration with the BIOS if that dont help there is an issue within the BIOS you need to amend or clear and start again.
 
Did you only have the SSD plugged in when you installed Windows?

If you had the WD hard drive attached, it may have put the boot loader files on this drive and this drive may be failing.

If this is so, reinstall Windows with only the SSD plugged in and see if that solves the problem.
