PC Doesn't Boot Sometimes

[Chocobavits]

I build my first PC last month, and really had a bad time. It eventually worked, but I have an issue that I'm not able to solve. I've done a lot of research over the last few weeks and I'm still stuck.

 

The computer works great most of the time. Sometimes my PC powers on, but does not boot far enough to reach even the BIOS about 20% of the time. It only seems to happen from a completely cold boot, and I've never seen it happen when doing a quick reboot. My research points to... almost any component can be responsible. I don't have a huge pile of PC parts to swap out randomly. The most likely cause seems to be a faulty power supply sending "dirty" power on boot occasionally, or I have a bad motherboard. I'm really just guessing at this point. I have the most up to date BIOS for my Tuf Gaming x570, and it's on 1405. I've seen a lot of complaints about this firmware, so that might be part of the problem. I have reset my CMOS a few times already to fix other issues. 

 

So other than maybe figuring out how to fix this, is it even worth trying to fix? Occasionally I have to hold down the power button to kill power and then push it again, and everything boots up just fine. It's kinda annoying, but will this issue get worse over time?

Is your PC connected directly into the wall or into an extender?

@Syaoran It's connected to a surge protector strip. Will try plugging in directly to the wall AC.

Powered off of AC directly and still have the problem.

What do you mean by this, did you had problem while in the building process?

 

What solutions have you tried so far, so I don't say anything that you already tried.

 

In the mean time, power off the PC, disconnect from wall/power strip, and push the power button a few times. Now plug it back in and try to turn it on normally.

If that doesn't work, do the same thing as I said above but now you'll take out the battery that's in the motherboard to clear the CMOS. Once you do that, put the battery back in, plug the computer back in and try to turn it on normally.

@Syaoran Meaning I struggled to get the PC built and don't really know what I'm doing. I spent 2 days installing windows 10. I had to eventually disable wifi on my motherboard in the bios to get windows to install, and it took days of trial and error to discover. I really dislike this motherboard, and wonder why more people don't have the same issue. 

 

Once I got windows installed, it works great with the exception of the random weird boot issues. I have removed the motherboard battery and reset the cmos multiple times at this point.

Do you have another computer to test the power supply? If so, do that.

If the other computer works fine, then we can rule out the PSU

 

Are you doing any kind of overclock? If so, reset BIOS to default. If not, reset them either way.

Make sure all connections are secured. One by one, disconnect a cable and connect it again.

Do the same thing with the ram, take it out and put it back in.

You can also try using 1 stick of ram at a time and trying all four slots

 

If you're able to get into the BIOS take a picture of it and post it here

Do you get any beep codes?
