VIII HERO - Have problems booting

Hello I have the system with the following specs:
6700K
MSI Gaming X 1080 Ti
G.Skill Ripjaw 8GB x2
ASUS Maximus VIII Hero MB
Corsair AX 860 PSU

About 2 weeks ago I noticed that my system would not turn on by either the case power button or the mobo power button, and it was only after clearing the cmos that it would function normally again. The same issue has come back multiple times since then and each time has required a cmos clear. I did a paperclip test on my PSU and it turned on just fine, so I'm pretty sure it's the MB.

My question is, should I get my MB replaced? Or is this something that I can ignore. Also, there seems to be some occasional audio popping that didn't used to happen, I don't know if this is connected to my main issue.

Any help is appreciated.

@Vinny: I'm running with default BIOS settings other than enabling XMP. However before my first CMOS clear I had my CPU OC'd to 4.6 Ghz, at a safe voltage (~1.3V iirc). I'm using a Corsair AX 860.

Curiously enough, my last PSU, a Corsair RM 850, actually crapped out on me and killed my previous CPU and motherboard. The thing literally had a capacitor fall out of it when I inspected the unit(pictured below). Thankfully though my 980 Ti (at the time) was left unscathed. Don't know if this is important to the case at hand since I've replaced everything but the storage and case from that build.70132


with the image you showed it is the RECTIFIER or DIODE, one of the important components of a DC power supplies.

Disable XMP and see if it posts instantly (I feel like you tried that already). Run everything stock/default. I know I had XMP problems that caused various issues as I've explained. I hear the XMP isn't the most stable and it's best to put in values manually. If not, try another PSU.
Z790 Asus Hero Maximus on 0816 BIOS (0914 and 1202 crashes for me on XMP I), Intel 13900k stock clock, Asus 4090 Strix OC edition, FF3D532G720 Teamgroup Ram running XMP I, 16gb x 2, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB x 2, Seasonic VERTEX GX 1200W, Win 11 Pro 64, Deepcool LS720 AIO, NZXT H7 Flow. Comfortably using Armoury Crate for updates/fan xpert.

"Clear your CMOS and boot your system at stock defaults."

Thanks for not reading my post.
