Hey! I noticed a problem that’s appeared recently. When I power on my PC, it takes longer than usual and the POST code seems to pause on line B4. After that, it boots into Windows normally. Is this typical? I’ve removed all USB devices, including the ones on the motherboard header, and it still works. My PC uses a USB hot-plug port, so I’ve checked that too. The repair shop found the CPU was faulty and everything else passed testing. My motherboard worked fine in my previous build. My gut says it could be related to the BIOS or something similar. Should I go for an RMA or keep worrying? Besides, I’ve had USB drop issues before, possibly linked to Corsair stuff. My specs are: motherboard MSI Mag x870 tomahawk (latest BIOS A30, latest chipset), CPU Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RAM Teamgroup 6000MHz CL30, 32GB, GPU Asus TUF Gaming 3080 Ti OC 12GB VRAM (drivers 566.36), PSU Corsair R-Mojo X1000 (1000W), boot sequence video available).
