I'm confused about why my booting process is taking so long.
Hello
This problem has been ongoing for a long time and it's really frustrating. I'm unable to locate a fix.
My BIOS settings change between 40 to 80 seconds.
The operating system is installed on an M.2 drive, with the following specifications:
7800 X3D
TUF X670E-PLUS
2x 16GB RAM
5090
Windows 10 (I've reinstalled Windows but still no success)
Multiple HHDs and SSDs, some using SATA and others M.2 (not selected as boot options)
What BIOS version is installed on your motherboard? Please turn on Fast Boot and enable E.X.P.O/D.O.C.P.
My operating system runs on an M.2 drive. Here are the details:
System specs:
- Multiple HHDs and SSDs
- Some SATA, some M.2 (not selected as boot options)
Could you provide the makes and models of all storage devices?
Hello
Thank you for your response.
Expo is activated and the resize bar is working.
The OS drive is WD Black 2TB SNM850X.
The BIOS version is 3208 x64.
Check BIOS in AI Tweaker, scroll down to Memory Context Restore, adjust its setting. Enable it and disable fast boot. Also set Power Down Enable to Enable near the Memory Context Restore area. Save your changes. Restart and it should run faster after the second attempt. Usually this issue comes from memory training during every startup.
Windows was installed with only one drive connected, correct?
I saw something on Reddit about turning memory restore on, but it hasn't worked yet. I've restarted the system twice already. I'm not sure why it's not helping. Also, I installed Windows on my drive and none of the other drives have an operating system installed.
When you set up Windows with another drive available, that drive is also required for the system to start.
I also observe a 3-second delay in the BIOS boot process.
I anticipate your BIOS should start in half the time you're experiencing.
It might be that your CR2032 battery has lost its capacity and can't retain your saved configurations.
Additionally, it's unclear why the system is attempting to boot at all.
Consider using sleep to temporarily save data (avoid hibernate).
The PC and monitor will transition into a very low-power state similar to a complete shutdown.
Sleep/wake operations will take only a few seconds.
Use the crystal disk info or similar application to assess the health of your disks.
If a drive is failing, Windows will perform multiple checks during startup, which might explain prolonged boot periods.
Alternatively, you might attempt to disconnect the drives from power; though unlikely, it's possible the PSU isn't providing sufficient power through the cable used for certain drives.
Well windows boots just fine, so I don't think that's the issue. I believe it might not be the battery since it still retains my BIOS settings. As for the reason, I don't like the flashing LED lights in the PC when it's in sleep mode, and I also experience strange problems when waking up from sleep with certain programs needing a restart before they function properly. Additionally, with the release of Steam OS, I want to dual boot.
