Possible your BIOS is corrupted. But you have to be very careful, if you do a flash. You can brick your MB if it's not done properly.

 

 

Have you tried removing Memory and booting with only min of stick

Hello, I've run into some problems, my PC rebooted and the GPU didn't get recognized, I tried reinstalling Windows, nothing, I was getting really mad, until I accessed the bios and, just to be sure, loaded default UEFI settings, which fixed it, after a few hours, I rebooted the PC (the fan was making a weird noise) and it happened again, and fixed it the same way... Any idea why?

Default bios settings fix the issue? Maybe you are changing somthing that messed with the GPU somehow? Update bios is always a good thing to do.

Every MB as a different way of doing it. It should say in manual

After another reboot now the bios fix doesn't even work anymore

 

EDIT: It works but randomly...  if I press reset button or soft reboot it doesn't work, if I emergency shutdown the pc it does...
