For the past week on start up my computer will turn off then back on and then get stuck on the bios screen. I can access the bios and make changes most of the time (sometimes it freezes in bios), and then on restart it gets stuck on the bios screen again. Eventually goes to a screen that says "over clocking Fail!"on the 3rd restart. this is all happening while the boot device LED is lit. Here is the strangest part.. I will reboot again for about the 4th time and then it will finally load windows and its as if nothing happened. This happens about once a day. .

Specs:
asus x79pro
intel i7 3820
32g corsair vengeance RAM
asus strix gtx1070
x2 vertex 256g SSD
Seasonic 1200W PSU

I just solved it. If anyone encounters the same issue I was able to locate a fix on Reddit. If I left it on the bios screen for about 5 minutes it would eventually try to load windows and fail, giving the error message "INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE" (explains the boot device LED). It would continuously try to boot and fail.

Solution:
1. At the blue screen, click Advanced Options
2. Click Troubleshoot
3. Look for a Startup button, I forget its proper name
4. A list of boot options is displayed
5. Click Restart
6. Upon restarting you'll be taken to the boot options you previously saw in #4
7. Boot into Safe Mode only
8. Once you're back into your desktop through Safe Mode, Reboot your PC and everything should be back to normal
TLDR: Boot into Safe Mode, then Restart your PC
