I updated my BIOS the other day and since then, my computer doesn't boot on it's own.
When I turn on the power, I am greeted with a black screen and no power to mouse or keyboard. In order to get the computer to boot, I have to reset the CMOS which will allow me to enter the BIOS and then manually select the boot drive. As I have to reset the CMOS every time, any changes I make in the BIOS to try to fix this are reset each time anyway, but that's irrelevant as none of them have worked until now.
I don't have a speaker on the board so can't be certain if it's posting or not but I suspect the latter. Q-LED on the board had the boot light constantly green when this first started but that doesn't happen during my new boot routine.
Motherboard: Asus Prime Z490-A
CPU: i5-10600K, I was using AI overclock feature from the board
RAM: 2x 8GB 2133 DDR4, 2x 4GB 2600 DDR4
GPU: EVGA GTX 970
SSD: Sabrent 2TB NVMe
PSU: Coolermaster Masterwatt 550W
