Ryzen 5600x failsafe mode after power outage

Hello everyone

I write here because I cannot find the solution and it took me a long time to find out about this.

I noticed that when my computer is cut by an electric power outage I cannot restart the computer properly. All I have is a black screen even though the power is on. 

I discovered than to correct this I need to actually remove the processor from the motherboard and replace it in the motherboard slot. Then everything reworks normally.

I have a Ryzen 5600X / Asus motherboard.

This is incredible. Who the hell implemented this completely idiotic function ? It's very tedious to remove and replace the processor, redo thermic paste and risking to damage pins of the processor itself.

How can I prevent this permanently? It's like a failsafe feature of something that is so bizarre I cannot understand how to stop this.

Thanks a lot

It is not a feature, so it can't be disabled.

Simply short (=connect) clear cmos pins (or push button if you have one, you didn't mention mb brand/model). Could also buy a simple switch, connect to those pins and use a button to short them. Notice that you need to have power off and either unplug power cord or use PSU's power switch to cut of power completely to properly clear CMOS.

You could get a UPS so you don't get power outages. Cost about 120-150€.

So the reset cmos button does not work, or removing the cmos battery instead.

Thanks for your suggestions. It works by removing the CMOS but unfortunately requires to open the computer and remove my graphic card. Is there a way to permanently disable this ? Thank you
