Hey guys, this is my first post here. I've got a lot of help from threads here in the past and wanted to say thanks to the community here on Tom's Hardware. I've got an issue that I cant find anything definitive on and I'm stumped.
I just built a system that has a 256gb m.2 nvme boot drive and a 2tb sata storage drive. The system worked fine at first but after a couple of hours the restarted itself for some reason and is says "reboot and select proper boot drive" error message. I went into the bios and noticed the data drive was moved to first in the boot order so I changed it back and didnt have any issues for another couple of hours and it did it again.
I went back in and disabled the sata drive from the boot priorities list and it booted up fine for another couple of hours until it did it again except this time the nvme storage drive (wdc pc sn720 sdaqntw-256g-1001) was first in the boot list over the windows boot manager.
So I drag the boot manager back to number one and it boots fine but then the system restarted and automatically went into the bios and would not even recognize I had a nvme drive installed. I had to restart the system so it would see the drive, change the boot order again and like always it boots into windows just fine after that until it randomly restarts and I have to restart it to recognize the drive and change the boot order again.
