Hi pc:

12900K with NZXT KRAKEN X73

2x16GB DDR4 KINGSTON DDR4

RTX 3090 Ti Gigabyte

Aorus Z690 Elite DDR4 < second

Seasonic PX 1300 Prime Platinum

Whenever i turn it on all the leds and fans turn on for a half second then turn back off again, repeat, and the same forever… I cleared CMOS battery. Unplugged GPU. Removed 1 stick memory the same.’
Just motherboard dont wanna boot. It stuck with boot loop. ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF. And psu was clicking too.

Also reseated cpu and still nothing. Pins was ok.

My friend come with hes mobo Asrock Z690 and all parts working fine with hes mobo. So i went to shop and they exchanged me Aorus Elite Z690 to other example and second Aorus Elite Z690 motherboard booted fine.

And my question. My first motherboard ( Aorus Elite Z690 ) was just faulty? Or maybe it was bios issue? ( older in this example ? )
 
If another motherboard worked fine then there is something about that motherboard that isn't working.

You need to diagnose the issue by swapping parts until it works. If all parts have been swapped and the fault still occurs then the board obv is broke on hardware level somewhere. If it's the bios then a new bios chip may fix the issue but don't quote me on that.
