Windows 10 taking a long time to boot up.

[Megadeth00]

Hey guys, I recently built a new PC(first time build) and installed a copy of Windows 10 onto it but noticed the boot times were in the 25 second mark from full shut down. It takes well over a minute and a half to boot if I unplugged the power supply from the wall and plug it back in and boot up the PC. I notice the speaker popping before the actual Gigabyte motherboard loading screen appears which leads me to think there is some time-out issue going on? . I have tried the following:

-Updated the Auros bios to the latest version
-Updated to latest Nvidia 2070 patch
-Updated to latest Ryzen patch
-tested the SSD and it matches the advertised specs
-changed the order of the RAM sticks and enabled XMP(they hit 3,000mhz as advertised now)
-played around with the virtual memory with no luck
-updated Windows 10 to latest version
-deleted the WDI folder
-checked startup programs(only have 6 running currently as it is a fresh build)
-played around with the 'fast/ultra fast boot' settings and made sure Windows Boot Manager is boot option 1(followed by SSD and then the SSHD). Even disabled the SSD and SSHD from boot priority list just in case.

All this and I still get a black screen for a good 10-15 seconds before the mobo logo appears. I do notice the DRAM LED on my Mobo stays lit for the majority of the time until the Mobo load screen appears. My specs are Ryzen 3700x, Gigabyte 2070RTX, Gigabyte Auros Gaming 5, 32GB DDR4 2,933MHZ RAM. Windows 10 installed onto Samsung 970 Evo. Seagate SSHD for storage(nothing on there at the moment).

Can someone please help me out, I am all out of ideas here. Is there something in my bios that is wrong? I have attached a picture of my bios screen. On the Boot override list it shows the SSHD in first place but surely this should not affect general booting? Any help would be very much appreciated!
