Asus Fast Boot

[mynameislemos]

So I saw this: 

and I was like: my mobo has fast boot enabled and it takes like 20 seconds to boot. Could you tell me why? Here are my specs:

Intel Xeon e3-1230 v3

Asus h87m-pro

Gtx760

Kingston V300 120gb

wd caviar blue

20 Seconds is still good why you complaining?

Depending on his monitor powering that off and back on during the reboot might be slower :unsure:

You will have to chose also Partial Initialization, rather than Full Initialization in the BIOS Boot Options. In addition to that make sure that you disable all other boot devices (Network Boot, PCIe Booet, etc) except for the main boot drive.

how do I choose partial initialization?

[Faa]

I assume you want the full fast boot?

Whats required?

- Every drive to be GPT formatted
- The gpu needs to have an uefi GOP bios

What you do once you met the requirements:

- Turn CSM (compatibility support module) off
- Enable Windows secure boot (this was necessary for 8.1 otherwise you get the error message on the right bottom of your desktop: "cant remember anymore")

If you cant get a gop bios for your gpu, just enable CSM and change everything to uefi first then legacy except for the PCI set this to legacy first > uefi

No need

What GPU doyou have?

DC2 I assume? They come with the gop bios already so you don't have to do anything. Well to have full fast boot, you need to format your main drive to GPT and reinstall windows. 

At this step you have to press shift+F10 > diskpart > list disk > select disk [number] > convert gpt and close it. You preferably want any storage drive on gpt as well. After the installation is done etc, just disable CSM & enable windows secure boot.

Is there any disadvantage of doing this?

Not complety sure but if you add a soundcard I think it needs to be have a gop bios as well or else you get the message telling you to configure the CSM settings. Then you need to enable CSM, and change for PCI to legacy first then uefi. There's no disadvantage here except its a bit more complicated to configure. In the beginning it took me awhile to set this up but its just plain easy.
