Hello, I seem to be another customer with exactly the same issue. My PC specs are also identical:

Hello, I seem to be another customer with exactly the same issue. My PC specs are also identical:
ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming/ac
I7-6700k
Corsair Vegennce 3200 16-18-18-35 2x16gb
Corsair RMi 650 PSU
Crucial CT750MX SSD
Corsair Vegennce 3200 16-18-18-35 2x16gb

Crucial CT750MX SSD
Crucial H100i v2 WaterCooling
Asus GTX1080
After upgrading my 1.50 BIOS to 2.10, I experienced the exact same symptoms as gusviper and Snipeuout. Only power cycling my PSU brings my system back. After a shutdown or standby without power cycling the PSU, the system will light up some LEDs and a few fans start spinning, but there is no HDD activity. Also the AsRock safe boot feature (after a defined number of failed boots) doesn't kick in. POST is definitely not performed.
After I flashed back to 1.50 and loading UEFI default values, everything is back to normal.
Hopefully adjusting the VCCIO voltage helps. Nevertheless, AsRock has an issue which needs to be addressed.
