Hello,

I am using a Gygabyte 990XA-UD3 motherboard v3, I had a Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SSD connected and it was working ok, I added another Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500 GB but it had windows on it, ever since my pc starts I had issues because even if set the boot priority it did not remember my selection and booted the 500 GB one even though I had the 1 TB as primary. Physically I have the 1 TB HDD connected as primary in socket 0 and the 500 GB is in socket 3. I did format the 500 GB HDD, remade it's partition into one using MiniTool Partition Wizard, and now when it starts it just sits in the logo screen of the motherboard until I hit a key (usually esc) and then it boots win 10.
I have to mention that even if disconnect the 2nd ssd now the pressing of they key thing still persists.

Question : Can I make it boot normally without the button pressing or do I have to re-install windows, If i do should I just format everything and start from scratch ?
 
Hello,
I found the boot to UEFI option and set it to legacy but it didn't do anything. No cursor is visible during the bios logo, nothing strange there. Also yesterday I re-installed win 10 from scratch, and this also didn't help. Whatever it is it's not from the operating system end, seems like something hardware.
