Asus motherboards taking 1min before post screen

[perplex]

so this is the third Asus motherboard im having this issue with, and it happens almost every second boot with this pc, i had this issue with Asus z87 and Asus z97 motherboards

 

specs

Asus z87-c

i5-4670k

gskills ripjaw-x 8gb (4gx2) 1866

SSD

BIOS - 2103

 

 

im running windows 10 but this doesnt matter since this also happens with no SSD installed

 

heres the videos, the last 2 are with boot logo disabled so you can see when it posts, there is a normal boot and the slow boot one for reference

Normal Booting -

Slow Booting -

 

 

Normal Booting with Asus Boot Logo -

Slow Booting with Asus Boot Logo -

 

 

so sick of this issue with Asus boards, is there a fix?

Asus wants me to RMA, but i have 3 Asus boards different gens that have this issue.... so its nothing faulty with the board.

 

need more ideas

Start with running MemTest. Assuming that doesn't find anything, try reseating the memory modules, using different slots, or a single module at a time.

 

I've had a similar issue with a PC which was fixed by reseating the memory modules. However, it did the painfully slow boot every time.

ram tested fine, also swapped slots and swapped them around

 

may i ask what motherboard you have this issue with?

it does hard ware checks before bios, eg mobo > ram > gpu> ...

something may have slight issue in identifying..?

is there a way of checking? ive had the gpu in another pc and it was fine

 

so there is only RAM? that checked out fine with memtest.

 

does it check ssd/hhd and cd drives? usb ports?

 

it also doesnt do it on every boot, i would think if it was hardware it would do every boot

it took ~ 10~15 sec till I see asus screen on both my b350 plus then b350 F with same exact hardware...

 

I see you use 1866mhz ram , what if you tune it to 1333?

no one ever said to try lower the speed of the RAM

 

ive set it to 1600 and instead of using xmp i input the values, only thing im not sure on is said the dram command rate was on 2 by auto, after i input the settings of the ram and restarted, it changed it to 1 automatically. im not sure if the ram is 1 or 2.  could that have anything to do why it slow to get to the post screen?

 

also i restarted the pc maybe 7 times and it was all normal, im not saying its fixed, ill do more testing, but it a good sign so far, maybe it was XMP messing it up, but if its all fine ill try raise it back to 1866. and if the error comes back is it a motherboard or memory problem?

 

here some picture to make sure i did it correct and nothing else needs to be changed, the command rate is now changed to 1 though as it auto changed after i rebooted, so i manually put in 1

[perplex]

anyone?

SOLVED here! It was the USB HUB!

 

I had the same problem, my startup time was 206 seconds and now is back to 10s.

 

My system:

Asus Rog Hero Croshair VIII motherboard

AMD 5950X

128gb Ram 3600mhz

Nvidia GTX 3090

Alienware AW3418DW screen usb hub plugged using amazonbasics USB 3.0 male to female extender

 

 

Tried switching OC off, tried changing power options. Had fast startup always on. nothing worked until I found out that my problem was a single USB 3.0 male to female extender (amazonbasics), that was connecting the backplate usb to my Alienware AW3418dW screen, so it would serve as a USB hub.

All the other USB devices are plugged and working fine, but this one specifically was causing the problem, so I kept every other usb device and forgot the screen hub.

I even noticed that at any time during the super long startup, if I unplugged that USB extender, it would jump right to the windows login screen.

 

Hope this helps anyone.

 

Cheers
