EDIT: And it just stopped all by itself suddenly! LOL what is going on... Anyway not going to complain hehe.
EDIT2: And it just occurred to me this change happened after I re-seated the CPU! Even though there were no bent pins, the CPU must have had bad contact with some of the pins. I guess you learn something new every day
So I got this Gigabyte motherboard GA-X79-UD3 with an i7 3820K CPU and 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 RAM for a steal. Never been used, just sat on a floor somewhere for 3 years with not a single dust particle on it.
Everything in Windows works just fine, no problems whatsoever. However every time the PC does a cold boot (even with ErP disabled), it forces me into the BIOS which is damn annoying since I need this PC to start on a schedule without my interference. I updated to the latest BIOS available, and if I recall it didn't do this weirdness before that. Tried re-flashing and unfortunately the old BIOS is no longer obtainable.
As a last resort it pulled out the CPU and checked for bent pins, but nope everything's peachy! So anyone got an idea how to fix this?
