Problem on cold startup.

I knew about this issue for a while but it didn't bother me that much. When I power on my PC, I immediately  get 3 short beeps (Motherboard error), then PC shuts down and powers on in a couple of seconds with normal post. But this morning it went into loop 3 times before posting with same 3 short beeps signal.

 

This problem only occurs on "cold start" after PC was off for hours. If I restart it during work, or shut it down and back on, it posts as normal without any issues.

 

So what could it be? Bad RAM? CMOS Battery? Or I need a new board? I did try re-setting RAM/GPU/CPU. Haven't tried messing with CMOS, if I clear it or replace battery, my bios settings like fan curves, RAM LPX mode, time etc will reset right?

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Zotac RTX 5090 SOLID OC/ x2 WD_BLACK NS770 2TBs/ Corsair HX1000i/ NZXT H5 Flow

Could be ram, try resetting cmos. 

 

Like you said, it will return all values to stock in the bios.
