Hi, i am having a problem with the boot time of my pc.

My boot time is 40 secs whth an ssd. I did update my bios and i restarted the cmos. I have the latest drivers. I freshly installed my windows 1 week ago

i know that it is supposed to be under 10 secs. due to my pretty high end set up: I already did all the steps in this 

it did improve my boot time, but it is still not optimal

That's one of Ryzen's small faults. until you have AGESA 1.0.0.6, then the DDR4 will take a while to train before the boot.

maybe try disabling the BIOS settings for DDR4 Training?

Try "load optimized defaults" in the bios.

Also, try booting with only your OS drive plugged in and nothing else.

And make sure you only have a keyboard and mouse and display plugged in while booting, no other devices.

 

See if any of these things makes a difference.

I have noticed that my 1700 boots a little faster since the AGESA 1.0.0.6 BIOS, but unless you're constantly turning the PC on and off all day I don't get why it's so important to be 20 seconds faster. I personally have a load of programs set to startup on boot, so just go off and make a drink or something anyway.. then the rest of the day if the PC isn;t going to be used for a while, put it to sleep instead of turning it off IMO.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

I'd rather not wait two minutes for AviMark to load itself and all of my patient files. 

 

But if you need a more average use-case, Displayfusion can take its sweet time booting up.

My PC should be waiting on me, never the other way around. If I have to wait, it had better be doing something great, or something is broken that needs fixed.

28U's worth of servers consumes enough power as is.

Especially when the PC is in the bedroom with its blinking indicator lights piercing the darkness, keeping me awake. But that's OK, sleep is an option.

It seems the GPU signal is what is taking up the majority of the boot time, I have a PALIT GTX 980ti that takes a while to wake up, I've also had a bunch of UEFI issues with this GPU, not very good in my opinion. It could be other hardware slowing it down though, but that's the only thing I can think of right now.

 

My boot time with the following specs is 20 seconds, (26 seconds with my External Hard Drive connected via USB). I will be selling this PC in a few days though.

After i updated my bios and resetting my cmos, my boot time dropped to 20-25 seconds. And i too am guessing that it is because of the gpu. Ill read up on the product tomorrow, whether i  can install a driver from palit to accelerate the boot time, or i might just look up some other solutions. it is realy bugging me, and i will HAVE to fix this soon.

20 - 25 seconds is fairly normal, I wouldn't worry anymore as long as the boot screen is appearing at a normal pace and your not sat on a black screen for the most of the booting time. 

 

My boot time is 20 seconds but around 5 - 10 seconds of that is spent in the Windows side of things, not BIOS/POST.
