Cold Boot Issues pls help

[花生酱和果冻三明治]

My pc boots only after 2 hours leaving it running
All the lights turn on and all the fans spin even the peripherals light up but
there is no display on the screen. I leave it for about an hour or so and it just boots and
for the rest of the day there are no problems whatsoever the pc runs smooth and works fine.

I have tried reseating the ram
I have tried replacing the cmos battery
I have tried plugging it to another outlet

pls help :(

And POST indicator telling you what's going wrong?
Some mainboards use beep codes, status LEDs or a display showing number and/or letter codes.

Might be faiing hdd - usually bad blocks and hence running check disk at Windows startup. Check Event Viewr for errors

can you try a different GPU?

That is not possible at the moment but I doubt its a gpu problem because as soon as it turns on it runs smoothly until i shut it down for about 2 hours again and try to start it up :(

can you boot a linux live from usb without errors?

Please just try this. As I've seen many motherboards have this issue even after 3-6 months of being new.

Power on the system, wait about 5 secs, then press and hold the Reset case button (ensure this is connected to mobo front i/o) for about 15 secs, let go and see if the PC now boots fine.

If this alone does help, please try re-flashing and/or performing a bios update. Then once that has been done and boots into the bios, reset all settings to optimized defaults, save and exit the bios. Then when able to, properly shutdown the PC. Then turn off the rear PSU switch for at least 60 secs.

Then turn the PSU back on, press the case power button and see if this same issue continues or is fixed.

try restoring windows to a earlier time when you knew it was working correctly.
we've received a few win10 updates the last few months ive had a few corrupt
and get stuck over the years.worth a shot.
the no display is strange though.your bios should boot it up

That's a very long time.

I recently was frustrated with a boot issue of my own, though not nearly as bad. I'm on Linux and I noticed on boot up KDE Plasma was taking as long as 30 seconds to load and be usable. (Terrible, I know.) Launching the Dolphin file manager took a similar amount of time, each time. Everything else was great. "systemd-analyze blame" showed nothing out of the ordinary taking more time than it should at boot.

The problem turned out to be something super-dumb. I have an external powered USB SATA drive dock with USB hub and SD card reader on my desk. I had moved it fairly recently and had to use a USB extension cord to reach my PC. It was on. Turned it off and now boot time is < 10 seconds. Dolphin loads instantaneously.

Basically, check any peripheral devices. Disconnect any extras and see if removing one of those speeds things up.

What's your PC specs. It's possible the Linux distro you are using lacks drivers to give the PC it's full performance.

Windows OS = Intel or Ryzen + NVIDIA GPU is king.

Linux = Ryzen + Vega or Radeon are king

Heck yes.
Ryzen 7 3700x with 32GB of RAM
AMD Radeon 5700xt

Although I did put Ubuntu Budgie on my wife's Intel/Nvidia system. The proprietary Nvidia drivers work well, although their closed-source nature is less than ideal. She games with no problems and doesn't miss Windows in the slightest.

Well yes, Linux has gotten much better over the years when it comes to NVIDIA GPUs.
I remember back quite a few times I tried to give Linux a serious GO; it never seemed to like when I used NVIDIA GPUs. But when I had tried various Linux distros on my systems (back when that hardware was newer) that had Radeon GPUs, everything seemed to run properly. Before it never seemed like it was able to tap into the 3d clocks of the NVIDIA GPU, or perhaps just not run at full performance due to the driver. With chipsets like AMD, Radeon and Realtek... Linux always seemed to have all the drivers built in and not require me to do anything extra regarding that after installing a Linux OS.

Yes it's much better today. But it still seems to favor AMD in many ways. All the modern game consoles use AMD and are running a form of Linux.

But in Windows + Gaming, Radeon seems to be a joke to be honest.

Hey Guys sorry for the late reply and thank you to everyone who helped but I found out what the problem was.

I noticed the red led for the vga is lighting up on the motherboard since I was curious as to why it was still booting up just without a display, turns out the gpu is the problem since I tried installing it on the second pcie slot and the problem still persists.
The gpu needs to be warmed up somehow maybe a blown capacitor or something Im still figuring it out :(
