Howdy, today i went about my usual stuff, tried powering on my pc, it worked but i was facing a boot drive error during boot, basically it was telling me to select a proper boot drive and press a key to try again or something along those lines. I panicked as i thought that another SSD kicked the bucket but it might not be the case...
So i figured i try booting again but instead go to BIOS settings. I checked the storage hardware there, the kingstone ssd was showing up under that option, then i went to boot options to check boot order, i was getting two options, none of which was the kingstone ssd option, which i assume the motherboard is not fully detecting during boot for some weird reason.
About 2 days ago, i had a windows 10 update when i went to sleep, but PC booted fine next morning although i did notice it was a bit sluggish (it was nearing full capacity usage on SSD, which i already fixed). There was also an outage this week, like 3-4 days ago before the update, not sure if this is relevant, i boot and shutdown my pc everyday and only today i got this issue.
The weird thing about all of this, is that when i hit ctrl + alt + del when in the blackscreen telling me to select a boot drive, PC attempts to boot from there and it works as intended. I have no clue why this started happening all of a sudden, but the most recent change to my pc was the windows update, so i don't know if that had anything to do with this issue. I figured this out on my own, as i attempted to press multiple combinations for windows functions and ctrl + alt + del seems to bypass the screen error and boots as normal from there onwards. I've tested this 2 more times and it is always the same result.
I've googled for a bit, saw some suggestions about placing the bios in default settings, not sure if that is a good thing to do since i had to mess around a bit when i built my pc to fully utilize my ram as it was underclocked (2400 -> 3200), but this was done like nearly 2 years ago when i built my new system and i assume placing default settings will most likely not do anything and just make me have to do the whole ram thing again.
Anyone got any clue at what could be wrong?
