It doesnt happen all the time. Happens sometimes during cold boot and everytime when I restart my pc. I dont think its a windows related issue as it loads for almost 4-5 minutes during the POST before loading windows. (During the time msi logo shows up with a loading icon at the bottom). My windows is installed on an ssd so it doesnt take more than half a minute when the issue dont show up. Any suggestions on fixing the issue?

Try to disconnect all non-essential devices and cards from the PC. Might be some faulty hardware that prevents it from going further when it's being initialized.

Disconnect external USB devices that aren't keyboard & mouse, particularly external drives & thumb drives, sometimes having external hard drives plugged in and powered up will cause longer boot times (particularly during the POST), as the system pings every device hanging off it.

I have tried after unplugging everything (including the mouse and keyboard). By "card" do you mean the graphics card?

Have already tried that. It still faces the same issue.

I mean any removable card that is not required for the PC to operate...

 

Have you tried resetting and reconfiguring the BIOS?
