What's the brand and model number of your computer? If you can, please also check the motherboard brand and model number as well since this step require us to know more about the BIOS / UEFI.

I dont think changing the boot order will help anything. This error usually only comes along when the computer tries to boot and has exhausted all its boot options trying to find a properly formatted boot disk/partition and cant find one.

Im really wondering if you dont have a failing HDD. That could cause the intermittent boot error.

FalconFour Ultimate BootCD

Download the latest version of that bootCD and burn it to a CD. Boot from that CD and run one of the disk checking tools and see what it says.
