occasional no boot with code 00

I have a Maximus VIII Hero Alpha on BIOS 1601 and a i7-6700K. I use G.Skill DDR4-3000 CL15 (on the QVL). I typically run a 4.5GHz overclock but have tested this issue at stock as well. The overclock is tested with 4 hours of RealBench on max ram, 600% coverage hci memtest for windows, and 24 hours of Prime. As a side note, I had been under the impression Prime was no longer a good test for this platform but it actually discovered an error at 1.21V after 13 hours that the other benchmarks didn't, which resulted in a voltage increase. 1.23V tested fine so my set voltage is 1.26 with a LLC setting that results in 1.248V under load.

The issue occurs maybe 1 in 20 boots. With my overclock and without. When it starts up the monitor stays in standby, black, and system never boots. I must power off and restart by holding the chassis button down. It just says code 00 on the motherboard. Is the startup voltage too low?

I've more or less learned to live with this...
