Windows 10 booting issue

Hopefully you can still RMA board.

Naa bud. I bought it "used" locally dnt have the original receipt. And i m pretty sure it will cost more in RMA shipping then i bought it for.
Second option will be to backup all my data on second drive. Then clone my C: drive to that drive. In short replace the data between my 2 drives as then it wont hopefully change the boot order.
Still m not 100% sure if its the mobo or my HDD thats the culprit OR it might be in-compatibility between the 2. But again once its running i have absolutely zero issues.

And thanks Caledon for sticking around :)

And I would make sure I have unplugged the other drive while installing.

On page 2-27 of your manual there is a setting for CSM. How is yours set?
By forcing enabled it gives you some additional options. Maybe these need to be forced. The Asus boards do a good job on Auto but better if I know a setting I like to set it.

I think if I was going to copy data off I would start with a clean install. Little more work but no hangovers or gremlins.

Good luck.

I went into the CSM settings and as suggested forced it to boot legacy instead of UEFI ( default is auto ) BTW i tried this one before too nothing +ve. But again for every thing i try i have to wait a day or 2 to check if that thing has a benefit or not becuz as told before this boot changing thing is totally random :/

Thats a really nice advice Spike. Will surely take into account in case i am re-installing windows.

Y i am running away from re-installation. I have around 36 software installed. Including few benchmark softwares and MATLAB these alone are around 20GB rest will make a total of around 25 and then re-registering and stuff
Then come the games. Whooping 319 GB. Not so sure if these will work after copy pasting !!
Just thinking about all this stuff gives headache

Finally it seems that the issue has been solved. I disabled an option in BIOS named "Fast boot" After that i had so many restarts without issues.
Though i am planning to do a clean install UEFI one :P
