I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

I had some weirdness tonight with my computer that I was curious if anyone else has had.

I have a prebuilt computer with an ASUS TUF GAMING Z-590- PLUS WIFI. I recently flashed the BIOS for ~reasons~. It was working pretty much fine since that date a few weeks ago, and tonight, I put the computer on sleep and went out to get beer. When I came back, the display was off and the computer was running. I restarted the computer and the computer would fail to POST three times and then run with no error lights on the board remaining on. I carefully went through and removed and reseated the RAM, everything hooked into the board via USB/Ethernet/ and finally the GPU. Still failing to POST three times.

Finally, I removed the CMOS battery and it posted. I reseated everything, and now it boots. I'm thinking that its probably a CMOS battery going bad and uuuuugh, I don't want to flash the BIOS again if I need to replace the battery again. Any suggestions?

CPU:Intel Core I7 11700K
Mobo: TUF Gaming z590- PLUS WIFI
Memory: 2x32 GB DDR4 RAM @ 1600 MHz
GPU: NVIDIA Gefore RTX 3070
SD: 1xTB NVME SSD
