You're experiencing a recurring issue where the A0 postcode appears briefly during bootup, followed by a switch to AA. This seems related to HDD ROM initialization. Your experience with overclocking on your 7800X and ASUS X299 Deluxe board suggests that increased voltage or stress might be triggering this behavior. It's possible that overclocking affects the BIOS settings or hardware stability, leading to inconsistent postcode readings. Consider testing without overclocking and monitoring for any changes in system performance or boot behavior.
