My motherboard takes a long time to POST

No idea how DISKPART was able to zero out the entire partition in 0 seconds with it stopping at 0% but supposedly it’s “all gone” and nothing sees it. Will try tonight.

It probably just wiped (zeroed out) the partition table and file system info causing Windows to see the drive as uninitialized or RAW because it can't determine the file system format. It would take a long time to zero out the whole drive bit-by-bit, block by block.

Best of luck to you!

Hey all,

 

My PC's been acting weird ever since I got my ASUS ROG B450-F motherboard. I never really noticed it until I saw a video of a super fast boot up on Windows 11. I noticed my PC doesn't really take that long to load Windows, but my PC takes around half a minute to POST. It's not really a big issue, but why does this happen? Here's a video:

(For those wondering, that last clip is me asking if there's a way to get my BIOS on my primary display. If anybody knows how, please let me know!)

 

I'm not really sure why this is happening. I have fast boot enabled and I boot off of an NVMe SSD.

Try unplugging any non-essential usb devices and internal drives that arent your system drive.

Ran a TestDisk deep scan, 3 partitions couldn’t be recovered (1 500MB, 2 500GB which doesn’t make sense). If I change any other partitions to primary it says there’s a problem with the table. I’m currently on the partition screen but away from home. What should I do?

Not sure why you are changing them to Primary. What you want to do is go through the (D)eleted partitions one by one. Select a (D)eleted partition and press P to list it's files. If it shows files, you can recover them. Make a note of which partition that was and go back and change it to (L)ogical. That way you will be able to recover the files. Do this process for every (D)eleted partition.

 

It's weird that almost all the partitions in your screenshot show up as "MS Data" and not NTFS or FAT32.

Not sure how to advise you beyond that from here.

Well, at least it’s seeing something. I’ll see if I can get the important stuff off.

i have a X670 Aorus Elite AX... POST sequence go like this CPU (1 second) > DRAM (10 seconds) > VGA (10 seconds) > BOOT (1 second)

also, the monitor gets signal after POST is over and windows is ready to start...

did you fix your problem?
