System failure during startup initiates BIOS reinitialization process
System failure during startup initiates BIOS reinitialization process
I recently replaced my PC's motherboard and CPU with an i7 9700K and a ROG Strix Z390-F gaming card (these components were professionally overclocked by Scan 3XS). However, I've been experiencing boot issues after a BIOS update. It only happens occasionally, but it's enough to worry me. When I power on the computer, the screen stays black and a green light appears next to the GPU. The only way to get it to start is to disconnect the index from the GPU and restart. This causes the BIOS to reset and it fails to detect Windows. I have to manually reset the PC in BIOS to be able to boot normally. I suspect there might be several reasons for this problem. First, my index might still be plugged in during startup, which hasn't happened before, so I prefer not to disconnect it each time. Second, could a failing CMOS battery be the cause? I'm not sure because the system doesn't reset when I turn off the PC. Third, is there an issue with the boot drive? Lastly, might the BIOS update itself be responsible? I'm unsure what to do next, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
