Whenever I turn on my pc after some time (e.g. when I wake up), it fails to boot to bios. Then, turning it back on right after, it does boot to bios, and I can get to windows and everything seems to work fine.
With my current timings/tunings (but with a cas of 17), I’ve passed 1 hour of OCCT (AVX2/SSE) and 5.3 hours of y-cruncher (v0.7.8.9507, using the config from [https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/oc-guide/DDR4%20OC%20Guide.md#alternatives](https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/oc-guide/DDR4%20OC%20Guide.md#alternatives) and TotalMemory : 12214071040). I assumed things were fine, as things continued to work for a few days. Then, the described behaviour occured (failed to boot to bios, then successful boot and usage of windows), although there was system file corruption discovered with sfc /scannow. After the first occurrence of this, I upped my cas latency to 18, and still encounter this behaviour (except for the system file corruption, which I have been checking every time I boot into windows).
Things are still stable (passed 10 hours of y-cruncher, no corruption), so is there any advice on how to get it to actually boot the first time?

(Also is there a way for me to change IOLs? I tried to tweak those but I couldn’t find any.)
(And even more unrelated, if there’s a guide to overclocking the 12600k/alder lake like the ddr4 guide, that would also be greatly appreciated.)
