Motherboard: Asrock Fatality z97x killer -Bios: 2.10

Storage:
Samsung 850 evo - Boot Drive
WD Blue 1tb
WD Green 3tb
Seagate 6tb

I keep having trouble with my bios and have no clue what to do.
I have tried bios 1.9, 2.0, 2.1
Tried AHCI and IDE
Tried removing drivers which worked for awhile but then i had to start turn off start again to see the bios splash page two times before it would pass me onto windows.

I want to hopefully finally fix it so I dont have to worry about dual booting. Any help would be amazing.

Welcome to the community, Nympho!

I'm sorry to hear about your booting issues. I'd suggest you to try resetting BIOS using one of the methods listed here: http://www.wikihow.com/Reset-Your-BIOS
However, keep in mind that this will return your BIOS setting back to factory defaults, so you'd need to re-configure them.
Another thing you can try is a registry tweak that might as well solve your problem, but I strongly recommend backing up the registry before tempering with it and making sure you know what you are doing! Here are a couple of threads that might shed some light on the procedure:

Hope I was helpful! Keep me posted! :)

I have reset the bios multiple times at this point only my 3tb and ssd are showing up in bios and windows so I think the mobo might be bricked, I have tried multiple different sata cables and I know nothing is wrong with my drives. I also tried playing in the registries to no avail i am still waiting from a response by asrock. I can say for sure I am done with using asrock mobo's this isnt my first problem with this mobo.

Ouch! :( Seems like one of the BIOS flashes went terribly wrong and bricked the motherboard which damaged the firmware. I hope their tech support get back to you soon and hopefully provide you with a replacement!

Good luck!
