PC starting up slowly

DJPUP · 22 Jun 2020 at 21:57

Hi,

I build a computer for myself about a year ago and have recently been having some problems with it, when I boot it up after a shutdown it takes a very long time to boot up relative to what it should. I have an Intel i9-9900k, asus ROG strix z390-F motherboard, Gigabyte RTX 2080 Gaming OC and 32gb corsair vengeance Pro. I'm not too sure what the issue is and I have no clue how to fix it. when booting up it sits on a black screen with the Windows loading circle at the bottom with no logo for a few mins.

PLEASE HELP!!

Do you have a USB flash drive permanently connected?

Anything interesting in the event viewer?

Have you tried looking in MSCONFIG>Startup tab?

In the startup tab in task manager its saying last BIOS time 5.4 seconds, and there's nothing unusual starting up when I start the PC.

How do you connect to your internet router? Do you use wifi, powerlan, or an Ethernet cable? If one of the first two, try a cable.

Is the delay in booting windows or POST?

Everything securely connected? Updated the BIOS recently?

I can’t see anything out of the ordinary but I’m not really sure what to look out for lol

Just an FYI.

I had a very long boot time .
It turned out to be a dodgy bios.

My motherboard has a bios switch and I dunno understand how but changing to the other bios fixed it.

Long shot . But it was my issue.

Mine hung for ages with the blue windows on black background.
Not sure how it's possible but I also got driver errors and POST problems before changing
