Hi all.
It's been a while since I've posted. I know things here are way beyond 2019, the was last time I was building.
My 2019 build which has been working flawlessly... thanks to @UtterDisbelief, @pastrychef, @Edhawk and others has developed a strange issue of sorts.
Just recently my startup sequence has changed not allowing me to get to the boot loader or bios screen.
Now I can't change hardrives in the boot sequence. I have to wait until the machine starts and then go into sys prefs and pick a new startup disc.
And obviously when I shut down the machine reverts back to my start up disc set in the bios when I start up again.
Sleep works perfectly and I can leave the machine on for weeks without problems but shutting everything down from time to time is necessary.
Nothing I do at the beginning or during the start up sequence allows me to get to either screen.
Please excuse me if I'm using the wrong terms. Although I have built 3 machines over the years I'm terrible with taking notes.
I honestly don't know how to fix this. Or if I should as after the boot sequence finishes the machine works fine?
I was going to attach 2 videos. One of the start up sequence and one of the shut down but I can't seem to do that either.
I'm feeling defeated for the moment.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Happy holidays to everyone.
