Question Slow Boot on new hardware

[mahonz]

At first the new pc build was starting up fast, now when i boot i see my corsair cooler or rgb fans light up but it takes some time for it to output anything to the monitor or keyboard
the day before i did have a blue screen just watching a video, once i restarted it went away.
sometimes the issue does not even occur and i get a fast boot.
i noticed some strange things with corsair products like after being shutdown, the components seem to still light up at times.
the corsair products are detecting in iCUE and its updated.
I just built the machine, sucks thats its not working flawlessly, any help would be appreciated


specs:
corsair h150i lcd cooler
Aorus b650 elite ax
amd 7950x3d
corsair vengence 64gb
nvidia gigabyte 4070ti super eagle 16gb
2tb samsung 990 EVO m.2

ive been gaming on the machine alot in the last month or so with no issues.

some additional info: the corsair cooler/ram/ fans are all controlled by iCUE. I figured it was a little wonky but was fine since, it detected all of the items and the temps seemed fine, no crashes on extended intense gaming usage. but sometimes when i shut down the pc, some components can remain lit up which confused me, but after some research it seemed like corsair products can do that. Sometimes when i start up it goes back to a factory setting rather than the colors I picked or splash screen on the LCD for the cooler.

there might not be any issue with anything corsair related here, but since it was weird to me i thought id include it.

also the frequency of this slow boot is not 100% of the time, it seems to happen now and again. At first i would just restart it because it wasnt booting and then it would work, but i tried a couple of restarts and was kind of stunned when it didn't work, which was the reason for the thread. I unplugged power and held power button and tried again (it might be helping?) then while i was sitting there thinking about what i should do because it wont boot - it then loaded bios then windows (seemed to take a over a minute). (to be clear when this happens, it does not output video - all fans spin/RGB and my KB/mouse and monitor do not light up and somehow my USB mic lights up no matter what)

Edit: This pc i built myself and it was built about 2 months ago (had no issues until now)

iCue is kinda notorious for slowing down a PC. I would personally start there by removing it and seeing if you still have issues. You might be better served by using something like OpenRGB.
