Moved a PC now Bios/Post are really slow

Plumpo

Moved a completely functional machine about 300 feet in the office today. Once it got to its new home it started taking a solid 5-6 minutes to post. Once it would, another 3-4 minutes for windows to load. Then we're back in business and the machine operates like normal. I can get into BIOS and there is a 5-10 second delay from keystroke to reaction on screen. I opened a support ticket with AsRock, hopefully they can give me some insight past "RMA" it. 

 

System:

AsRock Z370 Extreme4 

8700k Noctua NH-U12 (Stock Speeds)

Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB 2666

GTX 1060 6GB

Samsung Evo 970 500GB

Corsair HX850i

 

Troubleshooting attempted: 

 

Pulled everything apart and put it back together

Cleared CMOS

Flashed Bios

Moved it back to the old location

Yelled at it.

this sounds like a peripheral problem. One of your ports whether its ps2 or usb is messing with the computer.

Removed everything except for power and a monitor and the slowdown continues. Thanks for the suggestion.

check the boot priority. I hope the first hard drive it tries to detect is the one with the OS.

I pulled the 2nd Drive out and its still a turd. Something has to be messy with the mother board. Even moving around Bios is incredibly slow. User is back today so I have to just swap it out with another machine and do a tear down.
