Posted December 26, 2020 I recently built a computer to use as an extra pc using used parts. The problem is that my pc use like 5 mins to boot. it sits at a black screen that says b2 in the bottom left corner. When its done there it takes 15 seconds and it boots to windows just fine. i am unable too enter the bios. Is this a hardware or software issue? Will clearing the cmos do anything? Should i donwload windows again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: Quote A lot of the "B2" bios slow down issues are sometimes attributed to the UEFI PCI ROM Priority setting in BIOS.

Posted December 26, 2020 Re-installing windows never hurt anything... and if fixes 90% of the PC problems I've come across.... (could there be a quicker, easier solution? Sure... but re-installing windows does fix alot of problems...) No Excuses, Play Like A Champion!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
