Hey everyone. Just booted up a computer I finished building just the other day. Only the 3rd one I have ever built and I've been out of the loop for awhile so go easy on me if it's something stupid. Lol. Last one I built was 12 years ago and still going strong.

Here's a parts list.

Asus RoG Strix Z690-E
Intel Core I9 12900K
Corsair 5000D Airflow
Corsair ICUE H150i LCD liquid CPU cooler.
Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR5 5600, 64GB.
EVGA Supernova P6 1000w PSU
EVGA GeForce 3080 Ti FTW3 GPU


Turn it on,it will post but nothing shows up on monitor for 6 minutes, than this. It will let me into bios. What could be the issue with it not posting properly?

Could be a RAM compatiblity issue. see if you can get the bios updated and the problem might go away.
https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z690-e-gaming-wifi-model/helpdesk_bios

Note that the bios has to be renamed, before Asus's flashing utilities will recognize it. I don't know why they don't just.....name it that way in the first place. Its really dumb.
Before running the USB BIOS Flashback tool, please rename the BIOS file (SZ690E.CAP) using BIOSRenamer."

Could also be a problem with the RAM, itself. I recently got a bad set of Kingston Fury Beast 5600mhz DDR5. It would cause the computer to go about 90 seconds before showing the post screen. And then in windows, Amazon Prime streaming would freeze a few seconds after starting a video stream. Elden Ring was way more stuttery than usual and would have sound errors. Disabling XMP to run it at the stock 4800mhz did not help.

I got another set of the exact same RAM and everything is great, now. Even easily overclocked it to 6000mhz.

They don't make a 4 stick set of 64Gb for what I was looking for so I went with (2) sets of 2 X 16gb Corsair Dominator Platinum. I wonder if that could be the issue? I should try and take out the 2nd set of DIMM's to see what that does.

Thanks for the input.
 
Sorry I can't figure out how to delete it.

The computer was failing post and booting into safe mode. I changed all mobo settings to default optimal settings and it boots and posts fine. But I can see that changing much at all in the uefi will make it go right back to no post or boot into safe mode.

Now I'm loading windows and trying to figure out how to get windows to recognize my NVMe drives. It seems them in uefi.
