PC loads bios everytime it boots up. Any ideas?

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I don't understand why it's doing it. Every time I boot my pc, it goes to the bios. Even when I restart it. I can load windows just fine, but it really should just load automatically, not when I have to force it to load through the bios. Does anyone know how to fix this? I made sure to tell it to load the OS in the bios. But i guess it just ignores my settings. It's not much of a problem, but I just wonder if something is wrong that it is doing that so suddenly.

Hello.

Do you have a Mainboard with the newer UEFI or the "Classic" Bios ?

Thank you.

Hello.

Thank you.

I'm not sure what that is, It's the bios screen with the blue border, grey boxes and such, blue text. Don't know what a main board or UEFI is.

Something like this ?

The bottom picture, that's the one I have. Never seen the top one before.

Thank you.

Maybe:

- BIOS Battery empty - please check if the Date in the BIOS is 1/1/2000 or similar.
But I do not think so because you say after an Restart the PC boots into the OS/Windows.

- a Open Case Alert Issue - please search for an Entry like "CASE open ALERT" and DISABLE it.

- a Temperature Issue (maybe a Fan is "broken"" - please search for an Entry like "CPU Temperature or FAN speed" and look at the Speed(s) and Temperature(s).Maybe have an "optical" check on CPU Cooler or Graphic Card Fan.

- a Hardware Issue,very hard to tell....

Does the bios give this kind of information? Or do i have to open the system up to find out? I doubt my pc would work at all if the fan is broken.

Yes the Information is reading from Sensors/Chips on the Mainboard and displayed in the Bios.
But it is always a good Idea to have a look on the Fans IN the PC too.

How long did your PC "worked" ?
(and please do not say "10 Years or longer".... ).

Thank you.

I had this pc for at least 2 years. It didn't start having this issues until Sometime after July. I guess some issues where some apps or start up programs would work properly after a windows update, but that's been fixed recently since october.

But the PC is older than 2 Years ?

Well I got it in april 2017, I bought it from xoticpc.com.

Then it is a little "Surprise"for me it has no UEFI Bios yet....

Hell, I'm running a 2500k from launch and I have the second UEFI bios shown here. What are your specs?

Looking like that doesn't mean it isn't UEFI, my previous laptop had a really really ugly old-looking one.

LOL. What can you expect from an inexperienced ex-God?

I second that. My laptop has UEFI and you'd be hard pressed to tell the bios screen apart from the one in the original pictures. The only way I can tell is that there's no "press del/f2 for setup", and I need to select "reboot to UEFI setup" via the Win10 shift-shutdown menu.

So I noticed that I no longer have this problem. I'm not sure why, but my guess is the windows update. Sorry I can't convey more info because it's just as much a mystery to me than it should have been.

Thank you for your Report.
One of the famous unsolved Mysteries of Windows.....

Good to hear,this Issue is gone and all is now working for you.
Thank you.

It sounds to me like the boot loader had been set to load into BIOS, and possibly only after an update switched its mode (pre-boot patching) did it clear the setting. Either way, as the issue is resolved, don’t need to think too much into it.

Well it is easier to say that microsoft is getting sloppy with their updates. So maybe not download every single one without some news first. Suddenly feels like my pc has custom firmware that can get patched or brick my pc with each update.
