Hi everyone, so every time I've started my pc it made one short beep, and it would start normaly showing the screen and desktop as usual. But since yesterday I've experienced something a bit different. So i start the pc, RGB turns on and fans start spinning as usual but no video, and only after 40 seconds I'd get the first short beep, 8 seconds later a second short beep and then I'd get the ASRock logo, from then on everything normal, well kind of, my clock resets every time since this started happening. 😳

My specs:
Ryzen 3 3200g
Asrock b450m pro 4f (Bios 2.80)
Slot 1 - Crucial Ballistix 2666mhz ddr4 8gb
Slot 2 - Crucial Ballistix 2666mhz ddr4 8gb
RX 6600

I don't know if this is what's causing this but while looking for bios updates this morning it said that ASROCK bios ver. 2.80 was not recommended for Raven Ridge Ryzen which is the one i have, but i've had this update for months and had no problems. THNX for your time.

My guess would be that if the CMOS battery is dead the long pause at boot is caused by the BIOS basically starting from scratch every time.
