My ASRock x570 mainboard has been absolutely rock solid and I would invest in another one without any hesitation.
One last thing. "The common issue" I see the most is people going cheap on ram or (especially) psu, then misplacing blame everywhere for their problems.

I would advise against assumptions. I've been building pc's since 1990. Three different ram kits. Bios update was first. Quit being a fan boy, just because I had issues doesn't mean they're all bad. Although a salesperson at my local Microcenter had the same issue. You like them, go for it.
No, they didn't argue the problem. It's very common boot issue with this board.

Supposedly three different ram kits... of officially list compatible ram? Bios update... to a bios that actually addresses the problem you're having IF it was available at the time? Don't bother answering, I'm not actually asking. Btw, nothing screams expert knowledge like "salesperson at my local Microcenter".
Also, when someone fails to provide any useful or supportive info to their claims, there's nothing wrong with referring to the most likely explanations, since, you know, they're the most likely.
And, having a great experience with a product doesn't make you a "fan boy", it means you're not someone who's had bad luck with that product. Only fan boys think in fan boy terms so it sounds like you're confusing my experience+comment as being brand loyalty - NOPE.
So, ASRock x570 has been nice to me and kicked you in the nuts. I'm ok with that.

I've also been building and troubleshooting PCs for 30-ish years, and I've built many machines with Asrock motherboards, even more than a decade ago from their budget tier when they had build/design quality similar to Biostar.
I can't say that I've had any more issues with Asrock than any other motherboard maker, and to this day they are in my wheelhouse depending on the build. In fact, I've had more problems with Gigabyte boards than any other manufacturer to the point where I shy away from them unless there's an insanely good deal on a board I can't find any serious issues with. I see people say the same about Asrock, and I've just never experienced it.
I treat all tech the same though, and I make sure that if I find any issue it goes back to the store I bought it from. Run Memtest on RAM, run Seatools long generic tests on HHDs, Push CPUs with some prime 95 and Cinebench. Furmark for GPUS, etc.
I suppose the point I'm getting at is you should get all testing done within the return window to the store you bought the hardware from. PC hardware isn't like a product with a lot of mechanical components like a car where things just start going bad over the coarse of regular ownership. So if there's an issue, it will likely show up immediately if you look for it, and return it to the store as DOA if you find something. Then you don't have to deal with the manufacturers, which is rarely fun or even having a satisfactory result.
Typically, in my experience anyway, if a PC component works 100% in the first few days of rigorous testing, it will continue to work for many years to come without issue. Of course this is assuming there's no insane overclock, there's proper cooling. dusting and re-pasting performed as needed, etc. There are exceptions, like maybe a bad BIOS update that you weren't able to go back from, or some software update that makes your hardware start screwing up. But in general, if a component has a serious issue, you should be able to spot it within the return window of the store you bought it from.
If you buy your PC components over time getting the best deals here and there, you're gambling a bit IMHO unless you already have hardware available you can at least test each component with as you acquire them... and for the love of your chosen deity, DO NOT cut out the UPC for a mail-in rebate until you have thoroughly tested the part.

Poor support is a point a have issue with. Every manufacturer, of anything, has some bad units. If they deal with those correctly, no problem. When they don't, they no longer get my money. I'm not telling someone not to.buy asrock, buy it is fair to tell my dealings with them. Good luck in your builds!
