Hi everyone,

I have an asus X99 deluxe 3.1 motherboard with 5960X and I have a big problem.
My computer was working fine until now. But now when I turn it on it cannot boot into windows (black screen with blinking cursor in the upper left corner) and it goes to the bios instead.
I have windows 10 installed on an ssd (850 pro)and another ssd with nothing on it and also a hard drive connected.

I don't know if it's related but the problem appeared when I added the second ssd to my system.

What I've tried so far:
Clear CMOS
Change bios version to the previous one (1801 instead of 1901)
change AHCI to IDE and to RAID
Unplung second ssd and hard drive

Thanks in advance!!

You definitely want to ssd's running in ahci, ide is a legacy mode. Perhaps you boot priority was set incorrectly after the cmos clear? Try going into the bios and setting the SSD with the windows install as the first boot device.
