Hi,
Got an Asus Z270-WS that likes to shut off and on 3-4 times before loading windows on a cold boot. When motherboard is warm its a one way trip to loading windows. Kind of annoying as I like to sometimes power off everything.
Anyhow I suspect its memory training causing this issue but the dumb bios is missing that as an option. So I looked into the IFR and found a number of memory training algorithms. Which one I need to turn off I am not sure as there are a half dozen of them. Not even sure if this will solve my problem.
Heres the IFR:
