Earlier today I in the same room as my computer but not using it. As far as I could tell it was idle and the last time I touched it was maybe 8 hours prior when I set some things to download on Steam overnight. I hadn't touched the computer since. As I was sitting there, monitor already turned off (by me not an error) I heard the tiny speaker I attached to the motherboard beep like it was doing a POST. I didn't think anything of it but an hour later when I went to use the computer I found that it was in BIOS.
No errors, no messages, no warnings. I closed out of the BIOS/UEFI to go to the Windows 10 desktop but instead of doing that the computer rebooted itself, showed the splash screen to go into BIOS where it says press F2 or Del. Except this time it didn't go past that screen. It would go to BIOS anyways even without me doing anything. I tried to reboot the computer several more times to the same result. Eventually I had to leave so I just shut the computer down. I come back maybe 4 hours later, turn the computer on and everything is working fine again. What gives?
FYI. This is a brand new computer that I finished building 3 days ago. It has been working perfectly fine (aside from one user created error) up until today. At the moment every piece of hardware is new except the PSU and the video card.
I'm wondering if I have something set in the BIOS that is making it unstable? Its a really odd problem I've never seen before so I have no idea what to even look out for. Its also the first time I've had any ability to overclock anything in a computer. So I did/do have my RAM overclocked to match the advertised RAM speed. Instead of the default 2100 speed I have the DOCP enabled to run it at 3600. This is also my first build using an AIO CPU cooler. A lot of these settings the BIOS are new to me and I didnt mess with them much in my last build so Its all a little overwhelming and the manual isn't very informative on what the settings actually do. But that all said i've hardly done anything with this computer aside from browse the web and download a bunch of stuff. I played one hour long session of Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) but didnt have any problems. Other than that the computer hasn't been pushed.
