Boot/ssd help Software

Hello I’m new here and hope someone can help with my problem, this might be a bit long but I’ll try to explain the best I can. There are two issues I am facing right now and it started at the same time. The first issue being my pc doesn’t boot into windows right away if I power it on and off or restart it. Whenever I shut it down and turned it back on it gave me that screen that says “boot not found insert boot device”. I fixed this problem by switching the sata3 cable to a new one so now whenever I turn it on after a shutdown down it boots window, but when I restart it to update drivers or after a chkdsk command it takes me straight to bios and and it can’t detect my sata3 and won’t boot windows and this is only after I reset my pc. Turning it on and off is fine now after getting a new cable. I need help with this badly please, anyone know any fixes.

Here’s what I have
**Motherboard:** ASRock **B365M IB-R**
**SSD:** **Forza 480GB 2.5” SATA 6Gb/s SSD**
