Boot Priority Won't Stick.. Help

So my buddies computer is all done, and its looking great, fast..etc.

But we are having this ongoing issue, albeit not each reboot..

We set 2 SSD's in Raid-0 as his boot drive with Windows7 pro x64 and his storage using 2 Segate HDD's in a striped setup for storage..

What is happening is the PC loses the boot priority of the SSD's, thus giving us error that there is either not boot media, boot device...etc

In BIOS we can see boot options for the ASUS cd/dvd drive, or the striped volume of seagates, but not the SSD's.

If we look at boot override we can click on SSDs and boots up fine.

Why does the SSD array keep losing its boot priority? How do we fix this? Why does it not happen everytime?

Should I just run the Seagates as individual drives, not striped?

If more details are needed..just asked.. I've never experienced this, and it is extremely annoying..

You say it's not every reboot, but is it every cold boot? i.e. every time the system is powered off.

Are other settings lost as well? Like custom RAM speed/timings, etc. If yes, you might want to check the CMOS battery. Might want to check it anyway :)
