Several months after I built this, it began having trouble booting. It will get to the "Press Del or F2 to get into BIOS," screen and stall there. I might have to hit the restart button half a dozen times. Sometimes, it will start right away.

Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151
Intel Core i7-6700k
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 X 16GB) DDR4-3333
Windows 10 Home 64-bit OEM

Any ideas?
 
Solution
Try run full mfg. diagnostics on all hard drive in the system (from Windows).
Also, try reseating all drive SATA cables and/or swapping them out for new ones.
