Z590-E for extended startup duration (11900k/WD Black SN850 m2)
You're experiencing a notably slow startup time—around 25 seconds—which is longer than the typical one-minute boot you had before troubleshooting. This is unusual for your setup, especially with a high-end Z590-E board and a fast SSD. It seems the issue may not be solely due to software or RAM configuration but could point toward hardware limitations or compatibility problems. The recent changes to RAM and BIOS seem to have improved performance in games and reduced boot time, suggesting those adjustments helped. However, the persistent delay indicates there might still be underlying hardware concerns, such as insufficient cooling, faulty components, or a mismatch between your motherboard and SSD. Reviewing similar reports could offer insight, but based on what you've done, expect a post time in the 25–30 second range unless further diagnostics reveal deeper issues.
