What is stored on your external hard drive? Any images or backups of your OS drive? Did this behavior with the external drive just start recently? Meaning you have used the external drive connected to the PC in the past, but it recently started to reset the boot order? Just to check, you said restart the PC, which means it does not happen from a cold start, after a shutdown? ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

If your USB external drive can use an eSATA cable, don't bother connecting it to the SATA3_0 port. That's one of the two SATA III ports on your board, it would be a waste to use that on an external drive that is a HDD. All so called "SATA III" HDDs cannot even reach the maximum SATA II speeds. In case you did not understand, ASRock Expert was saying you should connect your SSD to the SATA3_0 port, since that will more likely cause it to remain first in the boot order ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

Right that.  Anyway, @Leetneok- change the CMOS battery, to play safe. ------------- 990FX Extreme 9 MOD P1.70 AMD FX 8120 4GHz 1.25V Thermalright HR-02 Patriot Viper 2x4GB 2133MHz Samsung 850 EVO 250GB MSI R7970 TFIII 3GB CORSAIR VX550W LanCool K62 Dragonlord ASUS Xonar D2X |
