After shutting down yesterday, I attempted to boot up and PC is stuck at the ASUS Bios splash screen. I cannot go into BIOS with delete. Completely stuck. After troubleshooting (check connections, reset CMOS/take battery out, check all RAM), I am able to get the PC past the splash screen with my SSD unplugged. After some more tinkering, I was able to get the PC to boot to windows, only after swapping the SATA cable from my secondary HD while in BIOS or boot screen. The OS seems to run normal and CHKDSK produced no errors. I rebooted and was stuck again while leaving cable plugged in. I followed the same process and was able to load again and actually plugged in my secondary HD and it was recognized. (Don't think I have bad cables) I rebooted and stuck again. I attempted the same process, however, my secondary was not recognized. After some curse words, I went into BIOS and enabled hot plug and swapped the cables again and everything booted up fine. Seems to be no data loss and functioning normally. I do not want to attempt to reboot now, because I have had enough headaches today. Any idea what this could be?

Computer is an older build but still runs great other than this issue.
