i7 7700K always boots into BIOS

[NGX]

Hi,

I recently updated to an i7 7700K & an ASUS STRIX Z270H motherboard. Everytime I start my computer or restart, the PC will automatically boot into the BIOS. The problem only started after I went from my FX 8320 to the i7. Any help would be appreciated.

It's recommended after major system upgrade (such as changing motherboard) to reinstall OS.

If you don't do that, then it is usual to have problems like:
performance issues,
boot mode compatibility problems,
windows activation problems.

Replacing mobo, RAM and processor will require a fully new OS installation from scratch.
Attention: to reactivate Windows on that new platform (mobo, RAM, proc) for OEM Windows version you should need to buy a new copy or try to call Ms. support.

Personally when I upgraded to the i7 7700k I didn't need to reinstall windows but if you can't even get into it I guess you have no choice.

Upgraded to i7 7700k from AMD? I do not think you can simply keep your windows moving from completely different processor platform.

No not from AMD, just from a Haswell.

I can get into Windows which is how I'm typing this but the first boot, example, the computer is off and i turn it on, I will boot into bios. I can exit the bios and go into windows but everytime I reboot or start the PC after it has shutdown, I boot into BIOS. Do you think refreshing Windows will work instead of a reinstall? I just reinstalled about 2 weeks ago before the i7.

Did you save BIOS settings after you change boot sequence?

Did you fix this? I've got the same issue with a 7700k and z270h. Everything works absolutely fine, but every boot goes into bios and I just save and exit and it boots to windows. This is a brand new pc. I've checked bios and can't see any settings.

I did fix it,
I had 2 hard drives at the time, one was failing. I took that one out, not sure if it did anything though. Then I ended up re-formatting my SSD and changing it from MBR to GPT, then re-installed Windows. After that, it stopped, I'm not sure why that was causing it but so far it hasn't happened since.
Hope this helps
