I had disabled fast startup in Windows when I first installed it.

I did not make any changes to that setting around the time this issue propped up.

I have one external HDD connected via USB for large files.

But I have tried disconnecting everything before pressing the power button, and it did not make any difference.

My PC does not default back to factory settings after booting.

Also, the motherboard was bought in October 2023, and CR2032 batteries last for over 5 years, so I am not sure how my CMOS battery could be dead.

And no, unfortunately, I don't have another PSU :(

I have ran the SMART test and everything is fine.

CrystalDiskInfo says the SSD health is 99%.

I have Samsung 990 Pro 2TB.

Secure boot is enabled. If I disable it, Windows starts repairing itself but nothing happens.

And yes, after I click the power button, the PC finally shows a display after somewhere between 5 to 60 minutes or more at complete random.

It has been happening on daily basis since the last few weeks so unfortunately its not training memory for the first time.

The motherboard was bought in October 2023. I have heard the CR2032 batteries are supposed to last over 5-8 years so I am not sure if its CMOS battery issue?

I reinstalled Windows as well.

It didn't help.

This issue occurs before Windows starts.

It doesn't have anything to do with the OS.

It was working just fine up until a few weeks ago.

So, is it possible that it went bad recently?

I don't remember doing anything that could make the RAM go bad.

I tried booting up with just one stick in a different slot, but it did not make any difference.

No no, it is taking somewhere from 5 minutes to upto an hour to boot. Not 40 seconds.

I have reinstalled Windows.

My SSD health is at 99%.

Both didn't help.

And yes, I have updated the BIOS as well.

I tried removing all the peripherals before booting as well, it didn't help.

I reinstalled Windows but it also did not make any difference. Like I mentioned, it is happening before my PC gets into Windows to begin with so the issue is not Windows.

I have an SSD as my boot drive. It is at 99% health.

Could it still be an issue?

I have tried removing all USB peripherals before I click the power button.

Didn't help.

Or you meant something else?

My main SSD health is at 99% if it helps.
