Issue with minor glitches - BIOS screen freezes during cold startup
Issue with minor glitches - BIOS screen freezes during cold startup
Here’s a revised version of your text:
I recently installed a new machine and spent some time resolving minor problems, which led me to replace the CMOS battery on my motherboard and update the BIOS firmware to the latest release. I wasn’t entirely sure if this was necessary since the version listed on the manufacturer’s site matched what I had previously saved. After making these changes, I encountered another problem: during a cold start of my system, the BIOS would freeze and display an error similar to the one shown here. Once the time passed, my computer would automatically boot into the first device in its list, and everything functioned normally. If I press the reset button or select the restart option instead of shutting down, I can view the BIOS splash screen, access the boot menu, and enter the BIOS without issues. After the initial cold boot and error screen, all subsequent operations work perfectly. I’ve also confirmed that switching my monitor output to the motherboard’s port doesn’t cause this glitch, and I can still reach the BIOS menu from a cold start on that connection.
Additionally, I noticed that the GPU LED lights are currently not working. They were operational earlier today, but I’m unsure if they’ll function correctly after a reset.
My current setup uses a dual-boot configuration: Linux on one M.2 drive and Windows on another. The BIOS has disabled Fast Boot and CSM. Before swapping the CMOS battery, I experienced a similar issue where I couldn’t load the BIOS or any boot devices from a cold start. However, after resetting the machine as described, I was able to access everything again. I’ve tested my GPU in several games, and it’s functioning properly. There are no other technical problems beyond this one. What else should I be checking?
Hardware details:
- Motherboard: ASUS TUF B650E-E Wifi
- BIOS Version: 3278
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- Memory: 64 GB Corsair Vengeance (2x32GB)
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
- Linux NVIDIA Driver: 580.95.05
Consider installing the newest chipset drivers from AMD's support page; https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads.../b650.html. After installation, reset the CMOS, then ensure Secure Boot, Fast Boot, fTPM, UEFI are active. For clearing the CMOS, disconnect from power, display it, remove the battery, and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Then reinsert the battery after a half hour.
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
This is the graphics card, what brand and model are you using?
You didn’t specify the type of power supply unit. If it was from an older system, note its age and the environment it operated in.
The issues you’re experiencing could stem from a BIOS or operating system conflict, or possibly both.
My current GPU is an ASUS TUF RTX 5070Ti OC 16GB with a PSU from MSI Mag A850GL. All main parts are brand new and assembled about a month ago. I wonder if running Linux as my daily operating system might cause driver conflicts during installation. I can't work on the machine right now, so I plan to revisit this later and check the settings.
