Hello guys
I have a serious issue with my PC recently. Every time that i want to power my PC up every day after a night shutdown i have to unplug my m.2 and plug it again in order to boot in Windows.
When i am not doing that it goes into bios with not boot option available. I think this first happen after i try to enable the Resize Bar option for no reason.
I try everything from resetting the bios, updating the bios, change the m.2 slot, disconnect any other hard drives and ssds, even reinstall windows. This keeps doing its thing.
I am completely out of ideas.
Hope that you can help

It might very well be an issue with the motherboard or the BIOS on the motherboard. If the latter then the BIOS is corrupt and perhaps a BIOS reflash with a CH341A programmer might alleviate it. It could also be an issue with the SSD itself.

You could try and place the SSD in another platform and see if the same issue persists on donor system.

I've shoehorned he specs to your build mentioned in your sig space. Sig space specs can and will change and over time this thread and it's solutions/suggestions will become moot to the end user in the same boat as you're in now. This is why we ask users to place their specs in the thread's body.

How old is the PSU in your build?

My PSU is brand new because a few days ago my older PSU from 5 years ago just blow up. And after i connect this one i have this issue.

You might want to include the make and model of that PSU and how bad the blowing up part was. I'm leaning on the point that the PSU might've taken out more than itself.

I had the EVGA SuperNOVA T2 80 Plus Titanium 1000 Watt. When i start render on Premier i heard a boom and everything on my house came to black. My main electricity switch on my house just power off and from the PSU, smoke came out of it 😁. So too bad of explosion 💥
 
I found an easiest way to boot my computer without uplug and plug in again my m.2. I've just load the defaults settings on my BIOS and i am in. I dont know what causing that. Maybe with this information we can figure something out?
Thanks
