Hello.
So when i turn my pc off that is usually never lol.
When I turn back on it goes to the bios then I need to press the restart and shutdown button in my computer case till it finally load Windows.
I'm using a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 1 TB with Windows 8.1 Professional on it.

Here is the picture of the bios if it helps:

Thank you for all help.

based on two above screenshots, the "goes to bios" problem results from not finding the sata ssd disk.
As shown by lack of "Detected ATA/ATAPI Devices..." line on the normal booting photo.

Also as noted earlier, the problem might be on mainboard sata port/controller, sata cable, sata power cable or sata disk itself.

The last one can possibly be checked by samsungs own thing:

The samsung magician software should be able to see if everything is "fine" on the disk and perform benchmarking/firmware update on it.

It is also possible that the old BIOS is a problem, your revision seems to be 1008 and most recent one is 2501...

The screenshot claims no sata disks are present?
Reasons for going to bios on shutdown/restart include but are not limited to:
bad/wrong clock speeds on CPU/RAM (same with voltages)
BIOS resets for some reason (bad battery?)

Usually if you disable logo screen (somewhere in bios) you could possibly see the actual error message as to why.

Yes no sata disks presents but P is for partition right?
Seems like the SSD is on Partition 0.
Which battery? I have a PC not a laptop.
How do I look clock speeds? Thank you.

Bios doesn't really care what the disk contents as such are, only if the disk exists.
the P in the sata list means port and according to that list, computer doesn't see any attached disks, SSD or HDD which might be the problem.

ALL computers have a separate battery for bios, in desktops it is round battery of type CR2032 3v
BIOS settings are reset to defaults (and computer usually wants you to check them before going forward) if BIOS is reset (jumper) or battery is removed while computer is powered off. (you should NOT remove the battery while it is on)


As for clock speeds, it seems that at the moment at least processor clocks are normal (3500MHz which is default for I7-4770k)
Possible problem might be memory clock speeds since XMP (eXtended Memory Profile) is disabled which is what most likely would contain correct clock speeds for the ram. It should work as DDR3-1333 what it is now also but I was just mentioning possible problems that might cause you to end up in BIOS on restart.

The follow up question would be... boot more and see if the disk is missing each time you end up in bios.
if so, I would blame that, be it the disk or the sata port in question.
or possibly not well attached sata cable going between motherboard and disk (you could try with different sata cable)
or possibly not well attached sata power cable (you could try with different sata power cable)

cable problems are bit unlikely though since they would cause problems also while you are in windows and not only on restart/startup

Depending on installation, you might be able to try to attach the disk to different sata port, this could mean that windows fails to load though since it can't find the disk on the port it thinks it should be at but if that gets past the automatically to BIOS screen, it is most often a fixable problem. (and would mean that the sata port is broken, meaning broken motherboard which is most likely still under warranty)

Hello, Sorry for taking so long to answer back. I was sick E.R...
Well I disabled that logo boot in the bios and took some pictures of the screen when it was going to bios and when it wasn't going to it and just booting Windows.

Booting Windows:

Let's see if it's easier to fix the problem now :) Thank you for all the help.

You can download BIOS and Bios updating utility from there.

At this point, I would try BIOS updating first.
