AK1 Add new SSD in sata slot and BIOS boot is now unstable

[jtn590]

Hi,
I recently installed a 120g SSD into the sata slot of AK1 and installed your Windows image onto it using your instructions, and it boots OK the first 2 or 3 times, but then BIOS forgets boot order and wants to boot to UEFI terminal. If I change back to booting the SSD, it boots OK for a while, but then goes back to UEFI terminal.

If I take out SSD, and set BIOS to boot to EMMC it works perfect every time. I have tested the SSD in other PC's and it is fine.

Could it be unstable connection between the case holding the SSD and the main case?

Is there BIOS update available or will that break windows activation?

Anything else I can do, because 32gig EMMC is too small for Windows.

Thanks.

After entering the BIOS and setting the first boot option, will it still boot from UEFI next time? If the BIOS settings are correct, the problem may be caused by the BIOS battery. Please troubleshoot the problem and check the boot options of the BOOT.

You can search for BIOS batteries on Amazon. Basically, you can buy them. The thing to note is to choose products with leaded cable plugs.

Though ACEPC would really have to confirm this, I think the battery you need would be like the one in the picture in this forum thread.

It's a CR2032 battery, but you need to get one that connects properly, of course.

In addition to CR2032 batteries, there are many more, I just cite one example.
