PC needs long time to boot, DRAM LED on board lights up.

[Tronnic]

Hello everyone, 

 

I have a slight problem with my Computer. Sometimes I have really long boot times. I will add a youtube link to the end of this post where I tried to record my problem. It's usually after I turn on my power and boot up the PC. I have power completely turned off with my WiFi-Smartplug. 

 

The DRAM-LED from my motherboard will light up and the PC won't boot until the DRAM-LED is off. It sometimes takes up to 20 seconds, 10 on avarage I would say. I had rare occasions where the PC didn't post at all and I had to power cycle to get it going (2 times in the last 2 or 3 months). 

 

Fast Boot is enabled in Bios.

 

My Computer-Hardware:

CPU: Intel Core i7 7700k 
CPU Cooling: Corsair H100i v2 Watercooler
RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z 3200MHz Ram
GPU: Asus Geforce GTX 1080 ti Strix Gaming
MB: Asus ROG Strix Z270F Gaming
Fans: Corsair SP120 RGB Fans with Controller
PSU: 650W EVGA SuperNova 
M.2: Samsung 960 Evo 250GB M.2 SSD
SSD: 512GB Crucial MX, 120GB Crucial MX
HDD: WD Black 4TB   
Case: Corsair Crystal 460X Tempered Glass
OS: W10 64bit

 

I hope someone can help me. It's frustrating to see my DualCore Server boot within seconds into Windows where my i7 PC takes ages. It's not that big of a deal, I know. But there might be something wrong with my hardware that could fail in the future.
