Unusually long boot time
I can't quite get a handle on this issue.
Why would having USB drives attached to system increase boot time from 8 seconds to 110 seconds? Never happened on old 560 box, but does on new 3847. Dell says, "That's the way it is". Sounds odd. Nothing in UEFI/BIOS for any Fastboot option. HHmmmm.....
Does not happen on re-start, just power up boot, with or without Fast Startup enabled.
BIOS boot sequence is DVD/USB/HDD. Latest American Megatrends firmware, A07 (3/5/15).
Tried disabling USB boot support, placing USB last in list, UEFI on and off. Nothing seems to affect it. Unplug all USB external drives and cold boot is 8 seconds! Plug back in and boot is around 110 seconds! Must be an answer out there somewhere!!!
Oh, and secondly.... Does anybody know how to take a screenshot of the BIOS screens?
Thanks.....
