I am running Windows 8.1 and a Gigabyte Motherboard.

Every time I turn on my new Rig, it goes straight to BIOS.

A dull blue screen appears (not like the blue-screen of death), I click escape, it sends me to the BIOS, the I click escape and on to the normal booting of WIndows and my computer is in dandy working order... It always scares me though lol. Is there a way to make it stop?

the dull blue screen has nothing on it at all... I just hit escape and it leaves and sends me to the BIOS screen.

It did work before. It was a new build. I installed Windows 8.1 and after the first set up it would always boot directly to the Windows log on screen, but after a few days this problem would happen.

What do you mean by resetting the bios? I have nothing that the BIOS should try to boot from, unless it would attempt to boot from USB powered headphones?
 

Like "Load fail-save bios defaults"? Or review the boot order in bios first.
