System starts slowly after being turned off for several hours.
Hello everyone, I’m trying to figure out what’s happening with my system. Recently, after turning off the PC and leaving it idle for a few hours, it starts up very slowly. It stays on the login screen for about 80 to 90 seconds before attempting to log in. One monitor isn’t showing up at all, and when I power it back on, it works fine. After this first boot, any subsequent restarts or shutdowns work without problems. The issue only appears after a couple of hours of inactivity.
My PC specs are: Intel i9 10850K, Asus ROG Maximus XII, Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 4x8GB VGA, Gigabyte 1080Ti PSU, EVGA 850W CPU cooler, Noctua NH-D15, Samsung U32H85x / 2xLenovo Think Vision T24i. The monitor problem seems to be linked to the Samsung OS—Windows 10 PRO v20H2.
Storage setup: one 250GB NVMe SSD (connected via M.2_2), two 500GB SSDs, and a 2TB WD Green HDD in AHCI mode. The CPU, motherboard, RAM, NVMe drive, and cooler are all several days old.
I’ve tried updating the BIOS, reinstalling the VGA driver, resetting BIOS, using default setup, booting with just the Samsung monitor, disabling SATA, and even connecting only the mouse and keyboard. Nothing worked except switching to the NVMe drive. The issue persists when I power on without startup items.
I’ve installed all drivers from Asus, but only Chrome, Samsung Magician, nVidia Experience (with its driver), VLC, and WinRAR are running. All other pre-installed software is removed.
It seems like the problem might be related to memory training or something similar, but I can’t pinpoint the cause—it only happens when the computer is off for a few hours.
Yes, there are tools like Samsung's Storage Manager or CrystalDiskInfo that help manage and inspect disk information.
Sure, the Samsung Magician is set up correctly and all storage devices appear properly in the interface.
