Check the motherboard guide on YouTube... https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z270-A-PRO BIOS flashing instructions. Recommended tools include Chrome, Firefox 3.0 or IE 9.0 for downloading BIOS and drivers.
I tried turning off extra programs, but it’s not fixing the issue.
It seems you're looking for information about which code causes the system to freeze temporarily. For instance, a USB problem might lock you onto code 9C. You mentioned checking for codes on the screen or motherboard—can you share any details you noticed there?
I owned two keyboards that frequently caused my computer to freeze before starting... often taking around 20 seconds to 2 minutes or longer. The Redragon K552 and the Ante Pro 2 were particularly prone to this. With the Ante Pro 2, I sometimes had to unplug it after about five minutes just to get it to boot. Once Windows loaded, plugging it back in worked perfectly. It might be a similar problem affecting you.
You might need to remove peripherals like keyboards, mice, or extra RAM sticks to test boot performance. Try booting with just the essential hardware and see if times improve. If helpful, gradually reintroduce components one by one until you identify the slowdown source. Let me know if you need more tips!
