Question Z490 Gigabyte Aorus Elite AC - Bad board?

[smithoe]

Hey all, had this board since 2021. Cannot tweak bios at all or it becomes unstable and slow, crashes, etc. Currently got a i9-10850k with an asus duel rtx 3060 ti. Tforce dark 3200 b-die slotted into the correct slots that I'm running at 2400 default settings as xmp causes major instability. Asus rog strix 1000w gold psu. I've also tried g skill ram which I returned also. So literally just leave everything in bios on auto otherwise things become laggy.

Anyone have experience with RMAing these boards? Updated to F23 bios which may of been a mistake from what I've read but I never had the board to be very stable either way. Could it be something not plugged in correct? Thanks

temperatures?

to have a look what the problem could be:
run userbenchmark.com and post the http link of your result, e.g. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/28977730

Reset the BIOS by jumper clrCMOS or JBAT or similar (eventually you will have to set the boot priority correctly after that)

check windows integrity
open the command prompt as administrator and type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
