Hey! You're experiencing boot issues that seem linked to power management settings. It sounds like the system is trying to stabilize before loading. Have you checked the BIOS settings for any power-saving configurations or CPU frequency scaling? Also, ensure your CMOS battery is properly seated and not worn out. Sometimes a simple reset of the power supply can help.

CMOS batteries don’t hold a charge. This might seem strange, but they’re only needed when the system isn’t powered on. Do you often turn off power at a power strip or unplug your PC? It looks like draining the CMOS battery would erase the date and time too. The remaining one might still work, so keep an extra backup.

If your system repeatedly fails to send a POST request three times in a row, the motherboard will reset its BIOS to default settings and display the post screen. This often results from inconsistent hardware during startup. Common issues include an unstable CPU overclock, an unstable CPU with incorrect voltage settings, or RAM operating at incorrect clock speeds/timings (make sure you're using the correct XMP profile). The green light means the motherboard successfully passed the POST test and you can continue booting to Windows. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific meanings of the lights—typically red indicates failure, amber suggests testing, and green signifies success. Usually, there are colored LEDs showing the status of the CPU, RAM, and VGA.

I rarely turn off the power strip, only the tower switch. After rebooting, the time/date resets near when I last powered it down, then adjusts slightly. I don’t overclock and might need to research Undervolt. I noticed an XMP setting in the BIOS, worth checking. Probably should review the manual next.
