60+ Sec Stuck On Bios Screen Before Each Boot

[TTesla]

So I just installed 16gb more RAM, and it's correctly in and running at the right speed. I also installed a NVMe drive and another SATA SSD, both working fine.

 

Suddenly, it takes 60+ seconds to get past the initial screen with the Press Del for Bios, the Gigabyte Logo, etc. I have fast boot on, the same OS drive as #1 in the boot order, and CSM off... No clue what's causing this

 

Edit: This is a gigabyte Z390M Gaming

Some BIOS let's you set a timer for how long it should be on the BIOS menu before continuing the boot process. I can't remember if Gigabyte has such a function in their BIOS.

If it does, I definitely didn't change it.

I updated the BIOS and all is good.

You can try going to the "Save and Exit" tab and clicking "Load optimized defaults". Might fix it. Might not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think that feature is ASUS specific...

Now I can't even boot in, I wait 30-40 seconds on the bios screen, then it just restarts, rinse and repeat.

Weird... Then it might be a hardware problem. If the motherbord is still under warrenty I'd sugget you RMA it.

Changed the ports the new SATA drives were connected to, and everything is now fine. I think. At least for now, until 5 min from now when it just decides it's dead...

The motherboard has a mind of it's own!

I was gonna say use the lowest numbered SATA ports.

So I just disconnected the 120 gb SSD I had just connected, and everything went back to being fine. Issue might be with SATA cable, or SSD, but just getting rid of both fixed it
