My Motherboard was working fine a couple of days ago, I can't remember what I did in the bios because of the stupid amount of changes my motherboard has in the bios WHY?

My motherboard is Asus rampage v extreme, i7 5820k & 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz

It's taking 55 seconds and over for my computer to either boot up to Windows or into the bios, if I go to bios and change something save & exit to restart it's not doing anything. I'm having to press and hold the power button to shut down the PC then restart it for the pc to go back into bios or to windows??

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!

When I press F5 to put the motherboard back to default it's making no difference plus it doesn't seem to put all of the changes I've done back to default? I have tried to reset and wipe all of the bios settings by taking out the power cored the CMOS battery and pressing the CMOS button on the back panel for 30 seconds and leaving the battery out for 40 minutes still nothing.

Also from what ive read and watched on youtube these i7 & motherboard are supposed to be very good for overclocking but I'm getting overclocking errors when I do pre-set overclocking and try and put the cpu and ram into extreme settings. It does work when I do a pre-set 3200Mhz but if I try any other pre-set over the 3200Mhz I get the errors. I don't altar the voltages at all as I'm not that familiar with overclocking like that yet. So I'm not going to try it if I don't know what I'm doing. So if I can get the system to accept any pre-set overclocking and then start playing a game the game is not playing smoothly, every couple of minutes to a few minutes the game seems to lag or pause for half a second when I was playing The Witcher 3 or the same the other night when playing Battlefield 1.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP.

If the problem is from the RAM, you may try 1) update the chipset driver, because the memory controller driver comes with that intel chipset driver. 2) update the BIOS. 3) I don't know you try to set the intel XMP for the RAM in the BIOS or not. If no, try it out. 4) If you still have have the same problem, test the RAM one more time with MemTest86.

Some of MB will not run the RAM in the right speed, like for your i7 5820K, the RAM will set to 2133mhz, because the i7 can support up to 2133mhz, you have to oc the RAM to 3000mhz by setting up the intel XMP profile in the BIOS. If you want oc to 3200mhz, you have to reset the timing, voltage, etc manually.
Do you have the SSD as your boot device?

If you had other regular HDD, do you try reinstall the OS in it yet? Because there is something wrong, like you had too much software in the boot device, or the SSD is almost full, or the boot device or even the PC has problem.

Yes I use ssd for my boot device but I took all drives from the motherboard including both rom drives and it is still taking 55 seconds to boot into the bios. I have noticed that one of my new ram won't let my pc boot into the bios, but has I can't fully see if it's the ram that could be the problem because I won't be able to get any display without ram in.

What is strange though is when I have both ram in then boot into windows it's showing 8gb and when I do a ram test it's not showing any faults with the ram, and if I send them back to where I got them from they will test the ram and they will send them back saying theirs no faults. So if it is the ram that is doing this then what can I do?

Thanks for your replies but as ive said it's not any of my ssd's or mechanical drives that's the problem.

I think it could be the ram as ive managed to get it working as it should but as soon as ive tried to get my ram that is ment to be 3000Mhz default from 2133Mhz I'm getting the same problem, "it not booting up into either the bios or windows after a reboot", and when I've put it back from 3000Mhz to what it shows when I first put them in 2133Mhz it's starting as normal.

What's really pissing me off is if we buy ram at 3000Mhz or higher why should we have to OC it to the speeds we paid for, the motherboard should automatically clock the speed we paid for???

I do remember a conversation I had with the sellers CCL Computers who I bought the ram from, and he says that some motherboards do automatically put the ram in the intended clock speed. So if he's right then with my motherboard being a very high end board then surely this should do this automatically then!
