Updated MB bios, new firmware of the graphic, latest drivers from Asus and Nvidia

Atm, the system only runs after a clear cmos, and giving errors at Prime95, going to wait to finish and try to look for results and post here;
MemTest86 gives no Errors with both mem sticks in;
As soon i try to restart or turn off going to have to clear cmos;

Tried to enable XMP at bios but it never boots, have to go deeper at voltage settings;
Have the AI Suite 3 instaled, althought im a noob at overclock these days,
Now its like this, it seems to have diferences between settings reads

The -E does not have a Q-Code LED.

Does the issue occur with XMP disabled?

If so, might be worth remounting the CPU, and whilst you're there, check the socket for any bent pins.
13900KS / 8000 CAS36 / ROG APEX Z790 / ROG TUF RTX 4090

yes. btw, it only boots with XMP disabled

Have you ran this on stock settings after clearing CMOS?

Well, tbh, i try to load stock settings, as seen above, but it always boots with oc :confused: this is one question i have, how to load stock settings?
This is the best bios right, the 0805?
And the Clear Cmos i do it by-the-book (disconnect power, remove cable, put jumper on, wait 10 to 20 seconds, remove jumper, reconnect cable, turn on)

My 1st, 2nd and 3rd attempt to have it stable was without any oc (bios or software), and always had the hang problem, then i came here to the forum and figured (maybe bad) that it might need to had some tweaks(oc) to get it stable, you understand what i mean?

Edit: i mean by attempts OS installs with single dimm, only NMMe
Didnt tried iet without the graphic card since it didnt give any error that i now (board led)
Once again another hang, this time took graph out and removed battery for the clear cmos,
loaded defaults and boot, cpu-z say its with oc :s

Edit 2: ok, it no oc, it's the default turbo mode

runned prime 95 for 10 hours no errors, after reboot it hanged again 😞

Later today i'll try without the graphic card

Ok, removed graphic card and NVMe, clean install on SSD 850Pro, problem persists.

Reinstalled NVMe, one Ram only, without graphic card, problem persists.
This happens with CD-ROm drivers provided, or drivers from Asus site.

Now, I've noticed that it boots between 2 to 5 mins :S after being hanged.
With drivers the installation is still good, this time happened after i repaired Steam files to launch a game, and installed several things like directX, runtime, etc.

I've tried a new OS install namely win10 vs1809 build 17763.316.
Same problem...

The Event Viewer give me this
79092

but i don't know anything about this
