"The current BIOS setting do not fully support the boot device"

[Lukus2017]

We have Asus computers at work and one of them suddenly started displaying the error "The current BIOS setting do not fully support the boot device". The error doesn't occur during boot up. It boots fine. It pops up intermittently during a work session. It can happen a couple of times a day and when it does, you lose everything and have to reboot... then you are good for a little while before it happens again.

The error forces you into the BIOS. When it does so, I don't see my HD listed or any boot device for that matter. I have loaded the defaults which seems to loop back into the BIOS and then my HD shows up. I'm then able to save and exit. The computer boots fine and will work for a while before it occurs again. The computer is just over a year old and no changes were made to it prior to the error manifesting itself. I did check for loose wires/connectors in the box and made sure all were firmly seated but the error still pops up a couple of times a day.

I'm starting to think that it loses contact with the HD for some reason which triggers the BIOS to display the error. Is the HD going bad? Perhaps a controller on the motherboard? I have yet to find the answer online even though this seems like a common problem with the Asus boards.

Funny you should have this problem also, I've had two pc's this week exhibit the same thing and both turned out to have a bad sata cable on the hdd.
I suggest you begin by changing it out with a new one or swap it with a drive that doesn't have an issue. Its also the cheapest part too LoL
