I found a solution, for me anyway. Had to hook up a VGA monitor.

For some reason, after installing the M.2, it would not boot to my graphics card or the integrated HDMI.

I reset BIOS and tried previously working SSD drives. Installed new RAM and also tried the old RAM, etc.

Apparently it was booting and asking me to hit F1 to continue with the cleared CMOS changes.

Hopefully this helps someone. I was about to order a new motherboard.

Specs:
Asrock z390 Pro4
GTX 1080
Intel i5-9600
128GB RAM (Crucial Pro RAM 64 GB DDR4 3200MHz)
4TB M.2 (Samsung)

I have same boot problem. 2 sticks of 16GB each in A2,B2 (32GB total).
It boots up fairly quickly in A2 alone but not with A2 and B2. How can I set the bios or something to boot up quickly instead of looking the memory over each time.
After about 3.5 min. of rebooting/trying, it gives the error and it boots up fine with 32GB of memory running just fine.
Thanks.

I use 4 32GB RAM sticks, total 128GB. Is there any way to handle this? If 2 A2 B2 sticks, it starts up very quickly. If 4 sticks, it gets the above error and takes more than 2 minutes to start up.

RAM should always be in slots A2, A2 and B2 or all 4 slots. It's been the like this
for quite a while now. A large number of the RAM related issues we see here on the
forums have been because of the wrong slots being populated. For some reason modern
CPUs don't like slots A1 and B1 being used exclusively. The only explanation I have
ever found is "slots A2 and B2 are the preferred slots" and that they are "optimized
for performance". I suspect it may also have to do with heat, slots A2 and B2
are further from the CPU and it's cooler.

Solved :

The solution is to move the memory modules to priority slots 2 and 4 ( in my case - instead of 1 and 3)

Hi!

About a minute goes by when the screen is black and the red diode on the motherboard is lit (near the power input to the board), then the text appears : "The system failed to boor several times before. You may press F2 or DEL to enter SETUP to reconfigure your system Or UEFI will continue to boot after X seconds."                                                       
And only then the normal booting takes place.
The system is new.

Dear Tomarush,

Thanks for posting.

Memory compatibility might be the cause of instability system.

Try to install only one RAM or remove the new RAM and try to see if the message can be avoided.

With thanks,
ASRock TSD
