Question Boot failure detected for AORUS Elite AX Z590

[douglar02]

Hi all,

I'm experiencing some issues on my pc:

- Sudden and extreme lag (as of this week)
- Starts happening randomly and persists until I do a hard reboot and reset bios each time. Though, it will happen no matter what if I load up a game.
- When I restart, I get an error: "Boot failure detected" "The system experienced a boot failure possibly due to incorrect configuration."
- I need to select "Load optimized defaults then boot" each time and it'll fix it for a while, but eventually it will start lagging again and the process restarts.

At first, I thought it was a hardware issue and I swapped out the PSU and GPU, but issue prevails.

Looking for some help on how to troubleshoot this and what else I could try.

Thank you!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:

include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

I took it to a shop. The cpu cooler went bad. Guy said he sees this all the time with iBuypower brand.
