booting problem help

khalidTheThird · Sep 21, 2017

hi guys i have a problem when i boot up my pc sometimes everything is fine and it boots up to windows but sometimes it boots to the bios and i think that it cant detect the HDD because i cant see the HDD that has windows on it,so i would have to restart my pc few times for it to open windows

Have you checked the cables are secure (on both the drive end and the motherboard), both SATA data and SATA power?

Have you tried changing the cables/ports they're connected to?

Have you run a health check on the drive in question?

Check the Sata cable or whatever cable connected to your MB. If connection is good, you may need new cable or MB has some damage, you may try a different Sata port on the MB.

Try to switch the known working cables (from the drive that works fine) and see if it's better.

A health check can be run from a program inside Windows. Depends what drive you have specifically.

Try disabling fast boot options in BIOS.
It's possible - your drive is not being initialized fast enough to boot in fast mode.

What's your motherboard model name btw?
