My PC gets stucked on intel logo screen

When I turned on the PC, it is getting stucked in the Intel logo screen.
After pressing multiple keys simultaneously at the same time, I am getting a boot option to select
1. Realtek boot agent
2. Hard disk drive
3.CD/DVD Rom
After selecting the hard disk, the PC is working normally. But each time of turning on, I have to do this.
Sometimes the above method doesn’t works. I have to restart to try it.
Any suggestions on what could be the issue??

do u mean to pluck out the hard disk and reconnect it
Check boot menu settings.
And see what’s selected as startup device.
Its selected as hard disk.
Sometimes it doesn’t enter into the boot options as well as the BIOS setting menu
i am unable to enter into the BIOS setup @getready
Hit f12,f2,or del button .
Either of these should take you to the bios.
Go to boot settings and select first boot device as your hdd,hit f10 to save and exit .reboot .
Probably a silly thing but did you keep mashing the F2 key? On newer PCs with fast boot enabled you only have a second or so to react.
Mine is not a new one
Your HarDdisk is about to die in 1 year more or less. Unplug, clear the socket and replug harddisk.
If you are using one slot of RAM; change the slot of the RAM. If you are using two RAM (slots), try to start with only one RAM via changing its slot.
Had Ram been the problem, there would be no display at all.
Keep the pc off for few hours & then turn it on,after you manage to enter boot menu check the system time,if it is wrong then your mobo cmos battery(button cell) needs to be replaced.
After booting into windows download & install crystaldiskinfo free software & run it to check your hard disk health.

Ok bro will do the same
In the 2 HDDs I have had to replace so far, it was the reallocated sector count that was problematic. In the 2nd drive (WD in Acer Nitro 5) right from day one the system will absolutely grind to a halt when the free space would fall below 5%
After backing up the data you should download the WD Diagnostic Tool and run the full check. For a quarter TB drive it shouldn’t take more than 1-1.5 hours esp. if not fully populated.
Booted normally to which drive?
Now can you get into the BIOS? F2 or F12 working?
More and more it looks like the HDD is to blame. Better backup data and run a full check to be 100% sure. If you don’t have another HDD lying around you can install a Linux distro to a USB drive/microSD/optical disc and wait out the lockdown. It will even be faster as it would run completely in RAM. So better download a Linux distro ( Puppy Linux is ideal ) and burn it to a pen drive or CD/DVD before the HDD croaks out.
I am currently running WD lifeguard diagnostic extended test
@guest_999 bro no one here is considered inferior or superior to one other. Each one is giving there own suggestions and experience.
I do consider everyones feedback as a valuable suggestions. Chill bro
I am cool bro, actually I would not have even bothered had it not been for the guy being so stubborn but above all he always post comments on a certain 3 letter party followers & a leader whose name starts with N accusing them of being all the things which he himself showed here. In my dictionary a hypocrite is worse than an ignorant refusing to learn. 
Let’s leave all this drama btw & focus on issue at hand. For future reference regularly check your hdd health by installing crystaldiskinfo & if you see current value of reallocated sector dropping closer to threshold value then immediately start taking backup of important data. In fact get ssd this time as it is much faster & because of lack of any mechanical subsystem it has much less failure chances. However even ssd is not 100% failure proof so always keep a copy of your most important data in at least 2 different places(an external hard disk or online storage like google drive).
So they finally took it OTHERWISE 😅
You couldn’t boot to BIOS even with HDD disconnected
( Both USB and PS/2 keyboards didn’t work but the keys are working fine once the system is all booted up..So not a faulty keyboard too )
As the BIOS is something that is stored on a MB…doesn’t look like your issue is related to HDD (even though there are bad sectors) at all but i guess you can also give Seatools (Windows/Bootable) a try for one last time as @LIMBO suggested
& connect a different HDD/SSD + install windows and see if you can boot directly without manually selecting the desired drive everytime
Hmm. Maybe try with Sea Tools for Windows. If it still passes but your boot issues persist then I don’t know what to say. If you don’t have another system its better to be prepared with a bootable Linux media just to cover all bases.
@Drakaris SMART failure is enough to qualify for RMA,in fact WD will approve RMA if you show your reallocated sector current value even 10-15 less than its starting value(when hdd was new). Never trust any hdd which shows signs of failing SMART parameters like reallocated sector count or uncorrectable sector count(both of these usually happen simultaneously but not always). non-zero raw values in ultraDMA crc error parameter shows issue with sata cable or power connection/psu.
Today when i tried to boot, it showed SMART is bad. Backup and replace @guest_999
Buy a new hard drive or keep a bootable CD/USB ready for when this fails. At failure, you can install new drive otherwise continue using this as long as it works.
I also have a SMART failed drive. I used it as backup drive now. No data was lost when it failed but I had to boot from another drive, connect this drive as a usb device and restore all data to new drive.
Seems like the end is near 
Windows To Go is another option whereby Windows can be installed AND run from a USB drive. Although a sufficiently fast drive is a necessity otherwise Windows will run very slowly.
