Almost a year since the previous occurence. It seems to be healing without any action - ignoring the fact that the cmos battery is still outside the case. All I did was the usual: pull the plug disconnect the battery, and there she blows.

System wouldn't wake from suspend, had no problems for 2 months and a week. I was waiting for it to happen. With the battery now outside of the case, it took a couple of seconds (to boot, the suspend was ruined). Next time, I'll look for a bios upgrade.

I'm quite good at repairing things but a disaster at DIY, when anything has to be made. But this was easy enough. The battery holder contains two springs, one beneath the battery for the negative contact, one on the side that clasps the battery side and top for positive. To both you can quite...

A month hath passed, so my Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master decided it had been nice, and did his thing again, monday 15/2. I tried the power button 30+ times, decided it had been nice, removed graphic card and replaced the battery by two wires leading to the back of the case, and the battery is now...

Since your cold boot problem has been solved less than two months ago, you may still be in for a surprise.

As the poster said, he or she has been home a couple of months, probably needed someone to talk to.

The day before you asked, if I'm not mistaken, monday 11/1, and breaking with the two-month interval: hardly more than a month. We could use an electonics ace to tell us the difference between a BIOS reset and battery removal.

Two days before you asked, I had it and gave a heads up here.

Do you think they may have made more than one?

I can almost set my watch on the boot failure. Yesterday, the X570 refused to wake from suspend. I knew I had it coming, last time was 7th of september. I still haven't bothered installing a workaround for the battery removal, but being retired, I have so little time free ;-) Funny to see...

Much better, indeed. Pray, tell me, how would one notice its demise?

Well, it dies, but Jesus had more trouble reviving Lazarus then we do with the Aorus. If it really dies, I hope it does so before my warranty runs out, then I can send it back. Now I can't, or I'm without MB for almost a month and all they do is pop the battery and hey presto (lento).

built 10/9/19, returned 22/11, reinstalled 16/12, found battery solution on 26/2, repeat 9/5, repeat 13/7 (joined this thread), repeat 7/9. So, two months give or take. Must be a capacitor somewhere. ;-)

I'll be sure to try your system next time, as it happened today. Almost two months, since 13/7. If it doesn't work, I'll connect a couple of wires to the battery holder and install another one that I can reach without removing the GPU.

Never used hibernate with this system, always had the problem with a simple power off, and maybe once with a "pauze" (Suspend?).
