Hey all, first time poster, long time lurker.
Essentially, the issue I'm having is that my computer, on startup, will only boot to the BIOS.
To give a little background:
A few weeks ago, I began having issues with one of my two graphics cards, Nvidia GTX 560 Ti's. They were causing my computer to BSOD and my screen to wig out. Screen was all garbled and what not. So, I attempt to erase the drivers and re-install to no avail. I re-installed my OS (not really much on this that isn't backed up), and STILL had the same issues. So I assumed one of the graphics cards was bad (the primary one), and removed it and am running on the secondary graphics card solo now. I also re-seated the RAM after seeing as my computer wouldn't display an image after the changing of graphics cards.
Oddly enough... after I did that, now my computer will not for the life itself boot beyond the BIOS unless I specifically click on the "boot override" option and click my SSD specifically, and even then sometimes it just doesn't work. Otherwise, just straight to the BIOS after the BIOS splash screen shows up.
The boot menu sees my SSD and my secondary HDD, it sees my CD-ROM, and I've removed all of them from being an option in the boot priority except for my SSD and still no avail.
I'm kind of at my wit's end here, and am completely stumped on how to fix this. I've seen the possibility of it being an issue with my CMOS battery, or an issue with my SSD controller. I just wanted to post here with the sequence of events that led up to this issue to see if maybe someone has a succinct clue as to what's going on.
Last but not least, specs (if you need more info let me know please):
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600k
GPU: Nvidia GTX 560 Ti
Motherboard: MSI p67a-gd65
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
