It's been a while since I assembled a PC, and I'm wondering if recent hardware updates have affected boot speed. My new system takes a long time to initialize—about 30 seconds for the display to appear, then another 10 seconds for the BIOS menu and options. After that, the OS loads quickly. I'm not sure if I set everything correctly or if this is normal with my current setup. The UEFI splash screen appears in just 3 seconds, but it seems like the delay comes from navigating to the BIOS option. This isn't a problem with the full boot process; it's mainly the time needed to reach the BIOS settings. The restart still takes around 40 seconds.

I'll clarify the steps clearly. I'm going through the process one by one, detailing each action and the modifications made to the BIOS settings.

I believe it relates to the motherboard verifying the RAM. Are you using 2 or 4 sticks? Would it be faster without Expo enabled? You might want to test the RAM with Memtest86. Edited October 5, 2024 by leclod

Sure, turning that setting on might work.
