So about three weeks ago, I went to start my computer as I normally do and noticed that my CPU light and my memory light was lit up on the motherboard. The only thing I have done recently was updated my GPU, but that was maybe a week or two before.

I’m able to get my computer to boot, but it requires removing the CMOS , hitting the reset button for a couple seconds, and then waiting a minute or two and start, diagnostic lights will turn on, but then they turn off and the computer works fine. If I shut down the computer, it repeats the entire process.

I’ve tried using the old GPU, no GPU, and brand new memory. No idea what might be going on but would appreciate any help.

most likely not, but try to see if u can put a new CMOS battery in there? also reseat the CPU. Was there any overclocking or undervolting done?

I tried a new CMOS finally (was on vacation) same thing.

Also of note now I can’t get to the m flash. When I select it after resetting it no longer goes to the menu.

Also of note it doesn’t seem like the above process works WITHOUT me unplugging everything from the back of the pc.

Hello, I am facing exactly same issue with you. I waited, hoping the issue would be resolved with new BIOS versions, but regardless of the BIOS version I used, in every version I tried, I had to turn the PSU off and hold the power button for 10 seconds to reset the power cycle in order to restart the computer. If I don’t start it this way, either Windows boots without detecting the Wi-Fi module or I get no display at all. Did you solve the problem somehow?

It was my USB causing issues. The second I removed them all it worked fine. I ended up just getting a powered USB hub and only connecting a single usb c to my desktop
