BOOT loop, stuck boot sequence

Hesitateg · December 9, 2020

Hello everyone who´s willing to help, i´ve decided to take my time and write it all down.

PC components- old almost 1y

RTX2060 Msi gaming Z
SSD Samsung 960 500gb
HDD 2TB WD blue
RAM 3200mhz Corsair Vengance RGB
PSU 750w EVGA Bronze
MB ASUS Z370A Prime
CPU 8600K oced at 4,5.

So, the problem itself desribed is, whenever i turn the pc to sleep or turn off after working on it and come back later to turn it off - maybe after 1-2 hours for the shortest amount of time for it to happen.
It goes into a boot loop, where only the monitor logo is displayed and than turns off and again and again- for maybe 5 minutes +- and then boots up, eventually it boots up always.
This specific problem has been occuring for almost 3 months, i´ve havent payed attention to it.

What ive tried up to this day was physical ensuring of connections, put ram out and in, Bios update to newest version, GPU drivers up to date, ssd firmware up to date(or at least it should be from info of "device manager"),reseating the m.2 disk, and reseating gpu and plugin 8 pin in and out. the same with sata cables for power and flow to HDD.

PC is booting from ssd which had 0 errors - scanned with "chkdsk" and with samsung magician.
Ram scanned from usb with program memtest86- no errors.
SSD Crystal mark
Settings from Power Plan - "sleep after-60mins, hybrid sleep - on, go into deep sleep -never, allow timers on wake up - on" - I´ve tried to put it into original power management plan in which this problem wasnt happening, before hand i´ve tried to fiddle with this.
Programs allowed on startup
Virtual memory settings - ive tried automatic and also manual yesterday, before it was only on automatic.
Recent windows update packages. - i havent tried uninstalling those, but i also did the fresh install without those, and it didnt fix it, sooooooo
Recent windows update packages 2

PC stability is ok, stress test dont affect the stability, games, programs etc... the problem is only within the slow boot times.

Ive included a video of the problem, what does it do. This is a fresh new install of windows from usb with reads up to 150mbs and reads about 80mbs.
I wanted to know if the m2 is bad, so i did a fresh install on usb and turned off pc, on next day simply woke it up but the problem on video happened.

I can include also screens from UEFI, of settings which might help with finding a solution.

Couple of days before i´ve had bsod "dpc_watchdog_violation" that problem is gone now.

Thanks for any suggestions and i hope we can find a solution together.

UPDATE:

Ive uploaded the driverview export of drivers without windows ones here.

So i´ve managed to do the sysnative export, here is the link, In the meantime ill do the memtest tonight again.

Hello

I´ve found a workaround this issue, and that is shortening two pins to reset bios, soo, it isn´t good in the long run and all and i still have to go into bios and save settings, but this indicates that the problem is within the Motherboard.

Ill leave it in default settings, disabling xmp and "fast preset" and leave it at that.

8.12.2020 Workaround doesnt work anymore, tried booting into safe mode, didnt work, 4 minutes of acer logo showing on and off and then eventually booting into UEFI.

Today i will try as minimalistic boot as i can manage in the case, disconnecting keyboard, mouse, leds and all pins from case and leave only MB,CPU,FANS,GPU,M2 disk.
