Windows 10: Booting Issue

I purchased a re-furbished Dell Optiplex 9010 with windows 10 pro pre-installed it worked fine until I changed the boot sequence in the bios setup to boot to the c/d then the hdd. My other computer Dell Optiplex 960 handles this just fine, if there isn't a bootable c/d, windows boots from the next bootable device in the boot sequence. Actually the 960 has first boot usb second device c/d and third hdd. Is there something in windows itself that prevents the 9010 from using this configuration? I have reset the motherboard to cleanup the bios using 2 different methods, from the bios setup "reset defaults" and removed the MB battery. The os will only boot with the hdd first in the boot order. The bios is set to Legacy.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
