very strange posting issue

hello, I built a new system a couple of days ago

Case	Fractal Design Pop Air ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply	Corsair RM850e (2022) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

 

I am having a very annoying and persistent posting issue. Basically, once every 4 or so boots , the system won't post and will be stuck on a blank screen with a white cursor (like the cmd prompt white cursor) The cpu and case fans are on and the gpu lights are on as well, but my keyboard lights do not turn on.

Also, when the issue happens my mobo's "VGA" debugging light is on.

Things I have tried that didn't fix:

- Clearing CMOS

- Booting using the cpu's integrated graphics

- booting with one stick of ram

-booting just to bios with no ssd or hdd connected to pc

- using a different monitor and using a different display port connection

-using different wall sockets

-making triple sure every psu cable is completely plugged in

- reinstalling the cpu and checking the pins (the pins were fine)

- updating to the latest non beta bios

-updating to the latest beta bios

- running expo vs. no expo

-reinstalling the gpu multiple times

I have also run cinebench and heaven, both showed completely normal temps and results. My vsoc remains below 1.3V always even with expo on.

I have also run memtest86 and passed 4/4 with 0 errors, AND all my drivers are up to date.

There have been streaks where it looked like the problem has gone away but its seemingly random - usually it happens once every 4 boots or so.

 

-screen looks like attached img

feels like a windows issue.

try:
turn off fast startup in windows settings.
open CMD as Administrator and type: SFC /scannow

I feel like it would be odd if this was a windows issue as I have been having this issue with windows 10 and 11. Anyhow I disabled fast startup and sfc scan now did not find any integrity violations- I tested and the problem persists

tried a drifferent monitor cable yet?  or was it same display port cable to both monitors?

yes 3 different monitor cables and 2 different monitors, one is completely brand spanking new

if it's blinking.. it actually look like a cursor in dos that marks typing location and some GPU bioses shows that before booting up. 

.. altho .. strange that it's random and with igpu and gpu.. so it must be mainboard bios.. that's not getting the hook when loading it. 

try to reduce ram speed to see if it's more stabile then.

it’s not blinking, it’s static- since the system sets the ram at 4800mhz (no expo) and 6000mhz (expo on), do u mean lower the ram speed below 4800mhz? I have had issues on 4800mhz and 6000mhz

since expo usually boot.. set it to 5600 when running expo.. 

but ... it sounds more like a bios issue.. check if it's a bios update for your GPU.. that might help. since it has loaded the screen.. it should go back to bios on the mainboard... to continue loading.. and that's the hook it's missing.  altho strange it's doing it on igpu AND gpu.. so that makes it more a mainboard issue.. or CPU..
