By any chance have you done any tweaks to your pc, more importantly, any custom resolutions, or messed with timers in bcdedit?

I have indeed, but have also formatted my pc more than 20 times in the last few years to test from a fresh boot, also persists in safe mode.

So it does it on a fresh install? Strange, sounds like hardware, I get it on my build when I set a custom resolution, or sometimes mess with timers on bcdedit, without these it’s perfectly fine, to me it sounds like a monitor timing issue/potentially graphics output, I believe you mentioned you used a 60hz monitor, does it do it exactly the same on this?

Also does it do it in bios?

Yes, the issue began on the 60hz monitor I know worked fine prior to this, then upgraded to a 240hz with the same inconsistency.
Also yes, this issue is also present in the bios albeit more exaggerated.

If it does it in bios and on other monitors/mice then it’s most likely going to be one of your hardware components, I feel like it would be the motherboard realistically, if you have the money I’d buy a cheap motherboard from Amazon, or anywhere with a return policy, replace that part and see if it fixes it, if not you’d have to go through replacing every part until it’s gone.

Well the problem is I have tried on a pre built omen, which was RMA'd 3 times = 3 seperate rigs.
And also now on my self built. The only common denominators being mb chipset and brand of cpu/gpu.

So you’re saying you’ve tried it on completely seperate hardware and it does exactly the same thing?

Yes sir. Both chipsets were z390, unsure wether that makes the Omen mb an asmedia board also, but the one in my self built is a rog strix gaming-f Z390.
I extracted the 2080ti from the omen for the new rig, which requires being undervolted to maintain temps, the omen required a gpu to boot so I bought a cheap 660gtx, same issue.
I also took the nvme from the omen for the self built, which is a toshiba... something.
Set up a samsung evo ssd in the omen for os and boot, same issue.
Different RAM, both prebuilt pumps but different brands, both intel cpus 1 i7 and 1 i9 9900kf, different psus 1 gold 1 plat both 850W i believe.

If you’ve tested and eliminated every piece of hardware then I can only assume some kind of electrical problem, I guess there could be a chance there is a problem with your boards, only one way to know would be testing a different branded board, I’d try an asus z390 from Amazon, then send it back if it still does it

The asus z390 is what I currently have. But you're right, I may have to test another board with a different chipset just to eliminate that as a fault.
Would I be right in assuming that if I have tried a mouse in the ps/2 port to test, with no success, that a pcie usb would be frivolous?
