So upon boot somtimes my screen just sits black and i have to restart the pc in order to get somewhere
Sometimes i see the rog logo and then gos black again
Sometimes i see the rog logo and 10-15 seconds later i see the Windows circles going in a loop like its loading.
This is about 45 seconds in , dont get me wrong that is not long , but with the hardware i purchased i feel something is wrong.
Once i login everything seems fine , its just when i shutdown and come back like 10 hours later and try to boot i get these weird boot up process , when it should be start forward and fast bootup.

-Also just rebooted right now and it reboots under 5 seconds but when i login to my account the nividia driver is not registered .. then i hear it connect and says G-SYNC Available .

Any info would be appreciated

1. Check your display cable if its plugged correctly, firmly.

Or:

2. This might be because of the ram. Try booting with no XMP and it will prolly work just fine.
I had a similar issue with my ram, same black screen, or lagging loading dots, etc. The ram was not stable at that freq because of a setting that the board would set really bad. It was the rtt_park value which i had to set at 48 clocks in order to get my ram stable on both channels. You should try this and lower vccio and vccsa that your mb is setting at like 1.25 and add more on vccsa if you get errors or crashes with the stock xmp profile. The "park" setting for both ram channels is located under dram timings control->skew control on my z390. Change it for both channels: CHA1 CHA0, its something like odt rtt_park, set if for both channels at 48 and it should be ok.

whoops i meant my ram is actually rated for 4500mhz but its defaulted right now at 2400mhz

bump still have issue... actually ran overclocking and the pc runs perfect!! got my ram to 4500mhz and can play game flawlessly , and cpu 5.2ghz... everything runs fine on the pc.. its just the boot. It seems to lock up when trying to get the display driver to come online it seems.

I think there are bios issues right now. I can't get my Z490 Apex to shut down with windows. It boots perfectly but won't shut down. I have to turn off my powersupply at night when I go to bed.

lol I have the opposite issue I am still thinking you should clear cmos and try it not overclocked first to get all the drivers loaded and hardware recognized properly first. I think somthing else might be happening here. .. clear cmos and boot in standard mode. I guess you can shut the pc down correctly with windows shutdown right ?

it did this when nothing was overclocked .. i wanted to test the overclocking and everything works fine. it boots faster with the Optimized overclocked settings , oddly lol. Yes i can restart shutdown and everything works fine. Its just the Display does not come on sometimes then i have to press start button on pc case to restart it and then it will go into what i show in the video

I think I recreated your issue. I went to pch storage configuration and put Sata Interupt Setting on "SMI" when I did that it took forever to boot. When I changed it to "SMIX" or "Legacy" it allowed normal booting.. check that.. I am trying to troubleshoot why I can't shut down my system but your problem seemed easier to me to fix.. check it out.

Not to mention I seen your video card was PCI X8 setting make sure you have all the PCI settings to Gen3
