Removed graphics card. Connected monitor to system via HDMI to DVI cable. Booted first time. Tried several reboots. First time all the time. Guess it was the graphics card but not sure how or why? ????

Thanks for the response. The PSU is about 2 years old. It is a Cougar CMX 700w. I only use the computer for website design and browsing. No gaming. No video editing. The CMOS battery should not be an issue since I swapped mobos with no effect. OS is W11. ASUS Z590-P mobo Corsair DDR4...

I have a Core i5-11400 cpu in a brand new ASUS mobo, Z590-P. I just replaced the mobo, it was an MSI Z590. The boot drive is an M.2 PCIe SSD. It was also just replaced. So I have a new mobo and a new boot disk. The reason for the changes is that over the prior several months booting the...
