So I've made no changes recently to my setup, but startup has become unreliable. E.g. this morning started up from cold, the DEL or F2 BIOS prompt appeared, disappeared and reappeared a couple of seconds later, then the TUF Gaming splash screen with the cycling dots - which froze. I pressed the reset button, same thing happened. I pressed the reset button a second time and this time the BIOS reported it was repairing my storage device (which took a minute or two) - after which it booted into Windows.
Yesterday the repair bit didn't happen but it booted into Windows on the second or third attempt. I have reset BIOS to optimised defaults.
Any ideas why this should start happening? How I can diagnose it? Fix it?
