No bootable device detected on first startup, second will be fine.
I have a problem with my pc setup.
Mind you i tried everything i read on every forum available before posting this.
My problem started when I was playing Skyrim on a CRT Monitor. Why? because our 32inch LED TV is now being used for watching so I am stuck with a 17inch CRT Monitor from my previous rig. While playing, it just turn off for no apparent reason. When I tried to turn it on. It says no bootable device detected. Then says something like proceeding to bios settings. After that, everytime I power up my pc for the first time. It says the same thing again, "no bootable device detected system will enter the bios setup utility".
Here are the solutions I tried:
Reseat sata cable
Reseat connector from MOBO to PSU
Reseat connector from PSU to HDD
Tried testing HDD on HDTUNE but says still healthy
Pulled out CMOS battery and put it back
Switch ram to another slot
Switch sata cable to another slot on the motherboard
Change bios settings like Boot selection
Change bios settings to default
Updated the bios to latest version
And I've forget the others because this problem is bugging me for the last 6 months I think? I already bought a 18.5in Asus LCD Monitor but the problem still persists.
What seems to bother me is after the first boot-up it says no bootable device. What i had to do is push the power button to shut it down and push it again. And viola its now working. Just like that. The first bootup is the only problem. Someone please help me. I dont know what to do. It bugs me everytime afraid that my PC will just wont work one day.
If it helps this is my rig.
Amd A8 6600k 3.9GHz
Gigabyte F2A78M-HD2
Kingston Fury 1866 4GBx1
Seagate 500GB 7200rpm
700 watts PSU
And the integrated GPU which is Radeon HD 8530.
Right now I am using a Generic PSU. One that you can buy anywhere from 8-10dollars. It says here that its 700watts but no certification. I have this theory that it cant supply the whole system unit so the hdd cant be detected. The problem no bootable device detected started when I transferred to a different house so I guess the electricity there is not that stable i think? Do you think if I buy a Corsair VS450 that'll solve my problem?
