Computer wont load

Go to solution Solved by leclod,

Just update the bios so we can move on...

Sometimes my computer stalls on the start up screen and needs a reboot, its also kinda slow to start since I have changed motherboard to b650-e asus tuff board. Settings are in photos as well as fast boot enabled and secure boot. Windows is installed on nvme ssd (crucial p5 plus), slow start up never happened on previous motherboard (msi b650i edge). I havent updated the motherboard in like 6 months ( I updated the motherboard when I put it together 6 months ago) This problem has happened the whole time that is why I do not think BIOS update is the problem and ssds were wiped with clean install of windows when computer put together 6 months ago

It could very well be, generally it's recommended to update the bios of a new motherboard because they often actually ship with like a beta BIOS and ram compatibility etc is likely poor.

 

Why did you even change the board, was something wrong?

Changed from itx case back to atx and it looked dumb not filling out all the space.

 

I updated the bios when I put it together

Have updated bios will update everyone tomorrow if stalling problem persists as it is like a once a day occurance, seems to still be a slow start

It says it's booting in bios safemode because it detected system instability. 
It looks like you have 4800 speed RAM that you're trying to run at 6000. Is that potentially the problem?

Slow start could be due to Ram check

Did you check your Ram with a memtest86 (or faster Testmem5) ?

it does that because I hard reset it with power button when it gets stuck on that screen. it just requires me to go into bios then save and exit, still keeps my settings. my ram is rated for 6000mhz cl30, im pretty sure ddr5 is 4800mhz stock and mine is overclocked to 6000mhz that its rated from corsair.

I will try testing ram soon. After the bios update it seems to be much faster at loading but that is only after I have hard reset it for the first boot of the day
