Question Does this sound like a MoBo problem?

[kadookie]

Hi, so I have the Z590 pro Wifi, and recently, its gotten a bit unreliable with booting. I almost never make it to the desktop. It usually craps out and freezes completely around the boot screen. It then requires me to restart and try again. but recently, it’s been crapping at the cpu and RAM debug lights. If it does by some miracle boot to desktop, it will usually freeze completely after a minute, no audio or video, no response from peripherals, nothing. I’ll have to restart it and try again. If I happen to get through all of the freezing and make it to the desktop without it freezing on the desktop, then it’s fine for the whole session. If I put it into sleep mode, then it boots back to desktop just fine when I power it again. I have been scratching my head at this for a while and I have no clue, but I infer its a MoBo problem. Thoughts and/or solutions?

full system spec? include brand and model of the psu

check cpu temp in bios?

As always, check your thermals. Could be an intermittent AIO pump, if you have one. (You might want to list all your hardware with specifics for CPU, CPU cooler, PSU, and GPU being the more important things)

Remove any CPU overclocks, including multi-core enhancement.

Re-seat memory.

BIOS reset and/or update to the latest.

Re-seat CPU and check thermal paste

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

If you're able to successfully get POST, might want to check and see what BIOS version you're on at this moment of time.

Side note, please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
include the age of the PSU if it's been in service for a while.

It might very well be a BIOS related issue or your memory controller might be acting up...even could be ram.

I’ll have to make a list and check the temps when I get home from work. I have already reset BIOS and reseated my RAM so that eliminates those two.
