Greetings good people,

I have been rocking an X670e Tomahawk for almost 2 years now, Recently, about 10 days or so, I upgraded the BIOS to ver. 7E12v1H, which is the latest at the time of typing this. I also reinstalled a copy of Windows 11. All is well execpt that sometimes when I boot my PC from a cold boot, the PC takes longer than normal to boot into Windows and windows feels very sluggish like even the mouse pointer jumps around and clicking or trying to open any app feels impossible—turning the PC off then on again from a cold boot fixes this.
PC specs :

7800X3d
2x32GB DDR5 6000T Gskill RAM
4080 SuprimX
512 GB Samsung 960 pro SSD for booting
2TB Kingston Fury SSD
1TB Samsung EVO 840 SATA
1TB Seagate HD
Antec 1350w PSU

Curiously I have had this same exact issue but couldn't find anything by googling previously.

The only solution I have found is also just cold booting the computer. I have tried stuff like turning Memory Context Restore on/off, but it seems to happen irregularly regardless of the settings I've chosen in BIOS. It happened to me on at least these 3 BIOS version:s 7E12v1E, 7E12v1G, 7E12v1H.

My PC Specs are:
7950X3D
4x16gb DDR5 Kingston FURY 6000mhz (I have tried both 2 and 4 RAM sticks and it happens with both)
RTX 4090 AORUS Master
Samsung 980 Pro 1Tb as boot drive
Samsung 970 EVO 1Tb as Storage/Games
WD SN570 Blue 1Tb as Storage/Games
1200W Silverstone PSU

I think MSI should pay attention to this issue. It seems we're not the only ones facing this problem—somewhere I saw similar threads specifically related to AMD BIOS firmware updates. The AMI BIOS 7E16v19 on my motherboard is running stable."

Are you able to verify that this issue is related to those BIOS versions by downgrading to an earlier BIOS version?
I have been using 7E12v1E, 7E12v1G and 7E12v1H in the past and did not run into that strange behavior.

Maybe some other thing, like the GPU/ethernet/audio/chipset driver is causing the issue.

I'm having the same issue on the latest bios with this motherboard with a new 9800x3d+5070ti build. I thought it was my video card until I found a similar thread about this issue for other MSI motherboards: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/x870e-godlike-stutter-very-slow.410076/

Also found similar issues described in this reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/1c9wulq

I hope MSI acknowledges/fixes this soon.

EDIT: I think I resolved my issue. I did some further digging and came across this reddit thread describing a similar issue so I went and did what this post suggested and it appears to have resolved my issue. This seems to be on nvidia's drivers interacting with monitors that support a lot of resolutions. Not sure if it's the same issue as yours but I just wanted to update in case others experienced the same issue.

Once again, the issue has returned on my system. This is with a spare Logitech Unifying receiver I was using on the system, so it's not a bad Logitech Unifying receiver that's causing this issue on my system after all as someone suggested to me a few months back in this forum, and I don't think I even have a bad Logitech Unifying receiver, since it happened again with the spare one, and hmj2k replied to me in this thread saying he does not have any Logitech hardware in his system. In fact, as I'm typing this message, my system is very laggy with the input. The audio is all crackly. CPU-z says the link speed is 2.5 GT/s for the graphics interface for my RTX 4090. My motherboard's BIOS is updated to the latest version. Nvidia Control Panel's system information doesn't even register a speed for the PCI-E this time.
