Weird, annoying issue

[Angelyx]

Ok, some important things to note. i built my PC a while ago and it was running fine for a few months, i have done very little overclocking on the cpu and nothing else. I use this PC all of the time, i am a video game design student, and of course i play lots of games, im using the pc all day everyday near enough. 

The issue: Somewhat often, being about once every 1.5 weeks. i turn on the PC, everything lights up, but no display on monitor. After fiddling with it, unplugging and plugging back in stuff usually, it comes back to life and i can carry on, this usually takes around 30-60 mins. When the PC is back to life, i go into BOIS and see all settings have been reset, im assuming the reset is what fixes it each time. 

If anybody could help figure this out or provide a fix, I would be incredibly great full

maybe a dumb suggestion but have you tried to replace the bios battery, seems unlikely but it might be dead and or it has trouble saving the settings.

you haven't by any chance done a bios update recently? which might have gone wrong?

Usually when cold booting is a problem it's a PSU issue, but it's too random for that.

 

What does fit is a memory reset due to instability. The first generation of Ryzen was very finnicky with RAM, so you might have to fiddle a bit more with voltage and speed of the memory. What solved my instability was overclocking the CPU further, believe it or not.

Not recently, although i havent tried older versions

I have changed the speed from 2133 to 3000, it is 3000mhz ram but it defaults to 2133. How can i go about changing the voltage?

Another thing to note, although i dont know if it effects anything, when i turn off the PC the rgb on my mouse stays on, no im not just putting it in sleep mode.

For some boards it's normal to keep the USB ports powered.

The higher voltage is programmed into the XMP profile. Just setting the speed to 3000 without setting the XMP profile and maybe a slight overvolt is asking for instability. It's in the overclocking section of the UEFI.

i already tried this, thinking back there was one time that i stuck to the bios defaults and it still happened
