>90 second high Last BIOS time on SSD?!

[Personawar]

Anybody know why my Last BIOS time is so high even when using an SSD and how to fix it?

 

 

My spec:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600

GPU: MSI RX 570

Motherboard: MSI B450M PRO-VDH PLUS

Ram: 16 GB

SSD: Kingston 240GB

 

Things I already tried but didn't work:

• Spoiler

   

  • Update the BIOS, but it increase BIOS time from 86 to 90 second instead
  • Update Windows 10
  • Update all drivers
  • Restore BIOS setting to default
  • Disable all boot option except the SSD with OS in it
  • Boot in safe mode, only reduce 5 second, making Last BIOS time 85 second
  • Remove all unnecessary USB device, only using keyboard, mouse, network cable, and HDMI for monitor
  • Unplug and replug physical cable on the SSD

Does it actually take almost 2 minutes from pressing the power button to desktop? Were you in the BIOS before booting? If you were in the BIOS for 5 minutes, the BIOS time could be 300 seconds too. Windows is weird.

If it boots just fine, don't bother. My PC takes about 10 seconds from power button to desktop, but it says 30-40 seconds BIOS time.

Make sure bios isn't set to do a long memory check on every boot, and you can reduce the wait time to press a button. I set mine to zero but I can still get in by spamming delete on boot.

Yes, I time it with my smartphone and the time it take to shows Windows logo is exactly more than 90 second, 15 second till login page, and about another 15 second till I can open task manager. The whole process takes a bit more than 2 minutes to finish.

Is there any tutorial on how to do this?

When you press the power button, look at your motherboard. It has LED's indicating the phase of POST it's at. It's called EZ DEBUG LED, which is located above the 24 pin ATX connector.

 

It should cycle between all of those until it stops at BOOT, at that point it starts loading Windows. See where it hangs the longest time.

Ok, I'll try to see if it gives more info to fix this.

It only light up once at 1 point only but very long. I can't see it clearly but I think it's around here, the second one from below:

Your lighting looks too bright to read it.

According to the manual, from top to bottom it reads:

LED CPU

LED DRAM

LED VGA

LED BOOT

 

So if the second one from below lights up, it's stuck on VGA. Do you happen to have a spare GPU or can loan one just to test booting? Your GPU might be at fault.

I think I have 1 old GPU in my old PC, I have to find it first though. I'll try to see if it fixed the problem and post the result later. Thank you for the help

Have you tried disabling these weird start up processes?

 

Also in case its not the gpu…

I had a very slow kingston "ssd" and fixed it this way, its now sometimes even faster than my 15yo toshiba sshd

Thank you, it was indeed a GPU problem. I tried using different AMD GPU and the boot process is very fast.

 

Fortunately my RX 570 is not broken either. When I tried to put it back, it boot pretty fast too. Maybe I just put it incorrectly before.

It was a GPU problem and already fixed now, but thank you for the SSD tips

Thank you for trying to help, it's already fixed now
