Unstable BIOS, slow POST time

Very unstable BIOS. Ran into BSOD on 3rd or 4th boot. After that the mainboard wouldn't boot anymore, the LED on the mainboard lit up, but the screen was black and the keyboard and mouse didn't light up as usual. After restarting the power supply 5-6 times, the bios finally booted, went into recovery and had to reset all settings to default. The only setting changes I've previously made to the BIOS were enabling XMP for 3200MHz and disabling Turbo Boost. Another problem with the motherboard is the slow POST time. Loading a desktop with fastboot enabled takes 12-20 seconds as the aorus logo does not appear for 10 seconds after the motherboard is powered on. Board start with i5-11600k. In the BIOS version F3.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Useless functions
