I've noticed unusually slow startup times on my TH50 mini PC, taking around a minute to reach the BIOS screen. I've tried several fixes: changed the CMOS battery, cleared the CMOS, updated defaults, swapped in a new SSD, ran a memory test, removed and reinstalled the OS, and switched power adapters. Fast Boot is now active in BIOS. Support provided a BIOS file, but it appears to match my current version rather than an updated one. It's getting frustrating since I'm worried about damaging the system during such a short boot. Are there other adjustments I can make? Should I risk bricking the PC for the sake of speed? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

No, I haven't updated or reset the bios at any time.

I've made the BIOS updates, applied the optimized settings, and completed the process.

Did you disconnect all external drives while keeping the CPU and RAM active to check the boot time? It shouldn’t take more than a minute for the BIOS to appear.

I attempted to start without any drives or external devices, and the boot duration stayed unchanged.

Does it support multiple RAM modules? If yes, test with a single stick first to check for improvements.

RAM is permanently attached, yet the memory test reports no problems.

Bios configured to default, recently updated, and no peripherals connected. It appears to freeze during network startup. Consider swapping the board and observe the outcome.

Are you referring to swapping a board, like a motherboard, or something else?

Sure, or if it falls under the warranty, just return it and the maker will replace it for you.
