[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

Let's just resume (so I am not lost): you had a working Designare and out of the blue, it stalls? Am I ok?

Everything worked fine until I took out some RAM and the AQ107 card for my new build, still in the works.

To my surprise, the Z390 wouldn't boot anymore. Not good, as this is still my daily driver. I already had to cancel an appointment for some studio work.

At first, the BIOS was shot, with weird settings for CPU etc, so I did a reset, typed in the BIOS settings again. Nothing. Then it went downhill, it's now barebones and still won't work.

I just don't understand what is wrong. It looks like a BIOS setting, but which one?

I tried several EFI's, reflashed F9i, tons of BIOS resets, changed BIOs settings etc.

AQ107 is an Aquantia card, right? I don't remember but you tried to put it back and boot? Same sticks of RAM too (I think you already swapped a lot of sticks but I ask anyway)?

Quite strange that it impacted the BIOS settings too but in the computer world, nothing still surprizes me...

... and the fact that Windows boots fine...
 
Oh, a weird idea maybe, but could you try a Clover USB stick (hoping that you have one somewhere)?
