Check each and every BIOS option and see if there’s anything like always display boot menu and if that’s enabled. Every BIOS is different and I can only guess from here.
Set BIOS to defaults and check again.

It may be possible that the key that opens up boot menu (e.g. F7 F8 F12 whatever applicable) is damaged and it automatically getting activated as if it's pressed during boot.

Disable touchpad and use external USB mouse and see if the cursor is stable.
Boot off live linux and observe cursor behavior.
