Seemingly random detour into BIOS screen on startup
I have an ASUS laptop, seems to operate error-free, but now twice this month, upon starting, it's gone into the BIOS screen without human intervention to send it there.
And if I recall, it doesn't resume the startup sequence by using the keys to exit with no changes and boot. It has to be powered off, then started, and it goes fine.
I've checked the F2 key and it's not stuck. No one is touching the computer as it starts.
Also today, there was a blue screen while the computer was being used. It's my wife's computer, so I will be collecting the event data.
But for now, what could be causing the unwanted detour into BIOS, versus a normal start?
