Hi Everyone,

Recently facing this issue with my setup, sometimes if I shutdown my system during the day leaving the power on and then try to start back up , it throws a black screen at boot and on the motherboard I can see the green boot led glowing and it does not move past that , I do not get any display, this also happens if i shutdown the system to make hardware changes at times or if restart the system frequently.

Sometimes XMP2 works and at times it does not where it again is stuck with a black screen and green boot light, I had even tried to update the bios to the latest version but it wasn't allowing me to enable XMP II so I downgraded.

This never used to happen before , but is happening once a week and the only solution i found was to reset the bios by removing the cmos battery.

I tried removing different components and trying but it still happens , Advice ?

You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age.

This is odd, how did you end up with a layout like that? Did you buy the sticks standalone over a period of time?

Asus ROG Z490 F Gaming
BIOS version at this moment of time?

My apologies , updated the post -
PSU - Corsair HX 850i , It is a bit old, had purchased it in 2016.
Bios version -2103

So one I got one of the sticks from my local retailer and another from Amazon.
