Maybe a restart could help.
You're dealing with a tricky issue on your Asus Prime Z-590p PC. It seems to have unstable startup behavior after power cycles, sometimes entering a repair screen and other times restarting normally. You've already tried several troubleshooting steps—scanning for malware, cleaning RAM, reformatting drives, and even reinstalling Windows—but the problem persists. The system hangs or restarts repeatedly, and after a full wipe and reinstall, it keeps rebooting and downloading games again. It's frustrating, especially with the performance issues you're seeing. Let me know if you'd like to focus on any specific part of this.
Consider disabling XMP in the BIOS settings. If you did adjust any other parameters, go back to the default configuration as well. Occasionally, tweaking RAM settings can make the system behave almost like this, especially when it's just on the edge of stability.
There isn’t any overclocking enabled on this PC. For some reason in the BIOS, X.M.P. doesn’t provide the chance to turn it on. If you select that option, it appears to only show a disable choice. Great decision and thanks!
