Set up a fresh Mobo/CPU/Ram today and everything appears normal. (Ryzen 7700, Asus B650, Corsair Vengeance 6000Mhz). The problem is restarting the machine causes the system to fail. Rebooting works. Another concern is accessing BIOS—it boots normally but ignores the GPU until it gets close to Windows. Any advice?

No, I haven't tried that.

Ryzens tend to be particular with RAM, and I've noticed comparable problems often linked to this. Just because RAM functions doesn't guarantee full stability, especially with Ryzen and compatible boards. Verify the board maker's compatibility chart for your RAM model #. If absent, it might contribute. Even after fixing, occasional issues persist if the system powers down completely, suggesting another underlying cause. Power supply is a likely culprit, though possibly the GPU too. For me, this prompted purchasing a UPS to eliminate power interruptions. No more hiccups. Another point: my initial RAM setup was unreliable. DOCP flagged the replacement at 20-20-20-40 instead of the board's suggested 16-18-18-36, preventing it from reaching the rated 3200 MHz at recommended speeds. With those settings, it performs flawlessly. Updated February 20, 2023 by An0maly_76 Revised, more details

Yes There is a red LED for the 8pin power on the motherboard. Stating its not connected. I have the motherboard CPU power with a 4-pin. Is this an issue?

This could be the problem. You're probably not using an 8-pin connector. Most systems rely on that, while the 4-pin serves as a backup for higher performance when you're pushing the hardware to its limits.

I don't have the right cable... I'll check if I can try it out.

It might be the whole problem. If your board uses 8-pin power connectors, you should use 8-pin adapters. They provide versions if your power supply only has 4-pin connectors. With just one 4-pin, you may need two adapters—one to extend the other. https://www.amazon.com/Fpz-Adapter-Femal...B085S5CKZN Edited February 20, 2023 by An0maly_76 Updated for more details

It seems you require that cable. Appreciate your understanding. I'll let you know once I've received it.

What kind of power source do you possess? Recent models typically feature an 8-pin EPS connector. This could be a combination of two four-pin connectors joined to form eight pins, which remains fully functional.

It needs to be accepted. Without an 8-pin or 4+4 EPS cable from the PSU, it seems likely they should be phased out.
