Hello Everyone

I bought the 'B450 Tomahawk MAX' around a week ago and I have the latest BIOS(7C02v31). 

It takes 30-60 seconds for my monitor,mouse and keyboard to turn on. Then it takes 10 seconds for the MSI motherboard picture to pop-up
And then 2 seconds to get into windows...

I have a 970 m.2 samsung ssd, so my 2s windows boot time seems to make sense.

But the extreme long boot time doesn't sense. It took 1s on my old motherboard from 2015.. 

Need some help!

PS: Already flashed the bios.

I have the same thing. Boot takes 30-40 secs from pressing the button to getting to desktop.

Started happening on my MSI b450 Mortar Titanium, still happens on the Asus x470i.

Task manager generally says that the "boot time" is 20-29 seconds.

Fast boot is ON.

 

Not gonna reinstall windows.

 

 

I only see your reply if you @ me.

Unplug all peripherals and unnecessary things, including secondary drives.

If it still happens then clean install windows.

BIOS load times are getting worse and worse. Z170 was super bad iirc

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

A few of our work computers seem to suffer a similar ailment, though in this case, boots take several minutes (from pressing the button to actually being able to use the system). These are Skylake and Kaby systems with M.2 drives mind you.

 

My $100 Atom system gets to Windows in about 30-40 seconds by comparison, with a pretty slow eMMC drive (Windows 10). My Acer Pentium J2900 desktop with HDD also takes about the same time (Windows 7). My main desktop with run-of-the-mill SATA SSD takes less than 20 seconds to get to the password screen, and is good to go just right after. And my old laptop with a PNY Optima SSD  (running on SATA2) takes about 20-25 seconds as well.

 

My conclusion is the IT at work here are quite a talented group of people to bring a Skylake SSD system to it's knees.

Sounds like a peripheral/device is confusing the BIOS, causing it to take some time to figure out how to enable it correctly. I've had this before, from memory it was a HDD or optical drive confusing the BIOS and removing it solved the issue (though keyboards/mouse/anything connected via USB can also cause this problem). It's the type of issue that more than likely will transfer to a new motherboard as it's device compatibility that's usually the problem, not the motherboard or BIOS.

 

Same applies to the OP - try disconnecting devices/peripherals one at a time, that should allow you to diagnose what is causing the problem.

 

EDIT: Thought of a more specific example I've had, my HTPC has a Drobo connected to it via USB3 - more often than not, when booting the HTPC with the Drobo on and connected, it gets stuck pre-Windows boot. Disconnecting the Drobo will allow the BIOS to forget about it and it will happily complete a normal boot.

This time it took 30s before my mouse and screen turned on, but the mb screen didn't popup. After 10s it automaticly turned of the mouse and screen and turned them on again and everytjing started. 

 

The keyboard num lock buttom was flashing before so i dissconected it before boot!
