Question Computer starting up weird

[Solosis]

Hey,

My computer only boots up successfully after interrupting the first 3 boots (shutting down pc on brand screen). It does tons of weird things when I try booting from usb (works 1/10 times), bios can't always be accessed, and tons of other things.
The computer is 2 years old, I maintain it and watch over it's performance a lot. What could be wrong? Below are my specs

Kind regards,
Solosis

Update: I realized that my pc starts up without a problem when I use F8 to select the boot option to be windows boot, but I have to do this manually, it seems. It's #1 in the boot order inside my bios, but I still have to do this manually. Any tips?

You need to list ALL specs and when this started happening. I am sure it wasn't doing this 2 years ago from new.

4 to 6 months ago, I'll post my specs in the main post, let me know if something's missing

I'd install Hard Disk Sentinel, see if there are any hard disk problems

I'll give it a try and post results in a bit, thank you

I think you will have to breadboard it, remove everything apart from - cpu, 1 ram and boot it up

Still stuck on the same issue. I don't always get past post

Sorry, not sure

Sorry, not sure

Alright, thanks for helping! I reset the cmos and after powering my pc back on again, my fans started blowing 3 times harder than they usually do. Is that normal?

It means you have them set at 100% in the BIOS and not on some quiet setting which is was probably set to before.

Ah I see, thank you

Bump, my pc still gets stuck at the motherboard's screen.
I can confirm my components are fine. Performed a clean OS install but that didn't help

Well if you can't boot even into windows, there is all potential that your components aren't fine.

Are you able to plug in a recovery disk? You may have a bootkit that has messed with the MBR.

Have you tried updating to the latest BIOS as per your motherboard manual?

If it is hardware, breadboarding may help isolating the problem. Have you removed the storage device and see if it POSTs?

I tried plugging in a recovery disk and used it, didn't work.
I also tried both updating and downgrading my bios, neither worked.
I tried breadboarding as well, didn't work either.

I managed to get it to boot up by being lucky after interrupting the boot for the 3rd time and using F8 to load up the boot manager manually.
Is there a way to make it do this automatically? It's already the first thing in my boot order set in the bios, Idk what else to look for

Can you show screenshot from Disk Management?

I'd suspect your system has both UEFI boot and legacy boot enabled and wrong one is booting first.
Also possible, you may have multiple bootloaders (one per storage device) and this is causing confusion.

(Lending HDD from a friend, has nothing but files on it, no system files)

I tried looking for multiple bootloaders, so I asked around and someone suggested me to check via BCD, and there's only one

You have UEFI system there.
Disable legacy boot in BIOS. Make Windows Boot Manager first in boot order.

Your system is not using SSD at all - BTW.

Legacy boot is already disabled in the BIOS as far as I can tell. Windows Boot Manager has always been first in the boot order
