Well, I feel so small! good news I just received my HDMI cable and DisplayPort cable and had no boot issues with either cable with microcode bios version 2.16. I've been dealing with this boot issue since I've bought the board and the whole time it was my cables. I never before tried HDMI, it worked but at only 100hz because my display is HDMI2.0.
I then tried the new DisplayPort Cable1.4 and it worked perfectly!!!!!@165hz.
You would think that Dell would give good cables with a product as expensive as a Alienware OLED panel. Never again will I use the cables in the box! Lesson learned
Mahalo for all the help and suggestions
