Boot suddenly takes, sometimes, minutes, from seconds, to end with SSD
Hi guys, let me explain what happens when I turn on the pc:
- Everything turns on: MB, GC, fans, LEDs, all I/O devices.
- The classic BIOS window (press F2 to access BIOS..) appears and it lasts, correctly, around 3 seconds
- The message "press F2 to.." is replaced by a loading wheel and all I/O devices are shut down (LEDs turn off) but not the MB, GC, fans and PC's LEDs
- This goes on for more than one minute until all I/O devices turne back on and, immediately after, Windows 10 log in happens and everything works fine
Additional informations:
- This started some months ago and I can't identify the event (such as a new device) that might have caused the issue to appear
- It doesn't happen all the times (90%+ maybe?). I can't 100% force it to boot properly but, when it does, it only takes 5-10 seconds
- During my tests to find the cause, I tried a lot of scenarios by unplugging the diffent I/O devices but I can't find a pattern. I'm only sure that it is always happens if I restart the pc
- I thought it could have been my usb ports not shutting down when my pc does, but I changed it via BIOS and the problem is still present
- I tried some WPR analysis regarding the boot phase and everything seems ok, only the postboot lasts 50 seconds (the previous phases only a couple of seconds each). Looking at the postboot's details, it regards the auto run processes and I'm sure the 1+ minutes of loading happens before. Basically this "black out" isn't apparently recorded at all (or I can't find it)
- All my drivers are up to date and there isn't a singol problem when the PC is turned on
- MB is an ASUS z170, GC is an NVIDIA 1050ti, processor is an i5-6600K, only one SSD is connected and, finally, the machine is an ordinary home pc.
- SO, as I already said, is Windows 10 pro 64bit
Is there something that I can try?
