Overclocking failed message on Asus motherboard

The system is not overclocked, in fact in the BIOS settings it's on power saver/quiet profile. I don't want nor need it overclocked (in fact, quiet is my highest priority).

Any advice?

If you have the eco saver mode enabled its possible its reducing vCore too far and preventing post. Cycling through the bios causes a second attempt and things are then just stable.

Put it on Auto/normal across the board and see what happens.
