Windows 10: Enabled legacy support but problem still occurs

At first, my computer would turn on but just showed me a grey screen. Then proceeded to show me that my hard disk was not found and that I had to install an operating system. I got onto a tutorial video where it showed me how to fix the problem. I went into the BIOS setup utility and enabled Legacy Support and exited with saving changes. Then, when I exited out, and at the bottom corner it said “Press esc button for startup menu.” Pressed esc and took me back to the grey screen where it said my hard disk was not found.

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.

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.
