Need to continuously restart before monitor/devices connect.

Hello, I've been having an issue lately where it will take me 4/5 hard resets before there's any connection to the monitor and devices (keyboard, mouse. speakers, etc.) but the tower itself seems to be booting like normal when this is happening. Once it does connect everything seems to be working fine so I'm not sure what's causing this problem.

I've unplugged all the devices then re-plugged them in and I've checked inside the computer and all the connectors seem to be in properly too.

Does anyone know what could be causing this and how I can fix it? Thanks

Thanks for the help.

Nothing had been changed with the case as far as I know but I did open it again to make sure everything was plugged in properly and I'm still having the issue.
If it was a PSU/Motherboard issue, would it still boot up eventually like it does now?

I've also disabled fast startup as I read that could be an issue but again no change.

Thanks for the suggestions. It stopped turning on at all for the past 6 weeks so I just got a new power supply but that still didn’t fix it.

I’ve only just noticed that on boot up, the QLED for DRAM comes on then that goes off but then the CPU QLED comes on and stays on. I removed the CPU and it doesn’t like any pins are bent/broken.

I’ve got an old motherboard that I’ve managed to test the old power supply + the GPU and they’re both fine. Unfortunately my RAM + CPU don’t fit this old motherboard so I can’t test them.

I guess the next best to replace is the motherboard? Pretty annoying as they’re only a couple years old.

Any suggestions on which MBoard to get to replace this ROG Strix B450-F Gaming?

its not under warranty is it?

Ahhh I wish I had a look earlier. I wrote it off as being too late but having just checked out of curiosity, it expired on the 13th July just gone

Just tried a new motherboard and it seems to be working fine so far. It’s started as normally every time with no issues, although it’s only been a few hours.

Thanks for the help and suggestions.
