Have you tried disabling "fast boot" options in the BIOS? I also had that issue until I disabled those settings for RAM in my BIOS (R9 5900X with MSI B550 Gaming Edge WiFi).

 

It does mean that my system takes longer to boot, but it now always boots without fail.

Replace your cmos battery, that should help. If not then it is most likely memory related
