Hey everyone, I shared this on troubleshooting, but it didn’t get much attention. I suspect there’s no major problem, but I’ll keep posting if anyone has ideas or tips. Recently, I noticed something odd when my PC starts up. On the first boot, it takes longer than after a few hours of inactivity. During checks, the EZ debug LED for the CPU appears slower on startup compared to later boots. In Task Manager, the BIOS time is about 14 seconds at first and drops to around 9 seconds afterward. From top to bottom the LEDs are: CPU / DRAM / VGA / BOOT Drive. Video footage shows the first boot takes longer than subsequent ones. I’ve installed Valorant with AC, and other games like CSGO, Rocket League, LoL, WoW, OW, Sea of Thieves, Unigine Valley, Discord, Steam, Epic Games Launcher, and Battlegrounds. My worry is this might be unusual or caused by a setting or bug, even though everything works well when playing games. I’ve looked through the BIOS but haven’t found anything that points to an issue. It could be normal behavior, and I’m not sure if it’s worth reporting. If anyone else with a similar build has seen this, please let me know. Thanks for any help!
