I tried bios 2.0 today and the same performance issues perceived with storage.

I tried: Update bios from 1.60 to 2.0 via usb stick and F6 ezupdate process.

Result - Took forever to boot, clearly something wrong.

Came here, tried @teegale's suggestion of disabling the HPCT - tried it with BDCedit and also in the Bios->Advanced Settings->ACPI->HPCT. Seemed to help slighty, but still very slow to boot.

What is interesting is, once the system is fully booted, if I wait long enough, I can run Samsung's magician software and it benchmarks the drive at 3231read/3115 write. Whatever is going on it appears to resolve itself minutes after boot continues -

I also tried disabling some UEFI compatiblity setting in the bios - didn't help

Tried "loading defaults" that didn't help either.

I flashed 1.60 back on again and it seemed to take a long time to handoff from the bios to the sign in screen, but was immediately better after that.

Very frustrating - my Pc's run great for months and just today it started doing 3 beeps at times - I googled it and it seems to be a common occurance - advice was to update bios/drivers - drivers are done, but the bios is non-functional like this.

Has anyone else come across this recently and had any luck with it?

I'm half wondering if it's a true bios issue or an incompatibility with the state of windows on my Samsung NVME drive, but I don't have the time right now to format and start over.

I wish I knew what setting/thing to look at to resolve this!

MCE is available again in 2.00 and 4.00]]> Sun, 24 Mar 2019 04:29:30 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10406&PID=61662&title=z390-taichi-bios-1-80-problems#61662 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10406&PID=61625&title=z390-taichi-bios-1-80-problems#61625 Author: teegale

I'm guessing "Adjust the NVME Hardware TPM Encryption" messed something up with the NVMEs.

Forgot to mention to install the latest BIOS 4.00 to see if it fixes it. If not proceed with what I mentioned above. Also don't forget to restart after applying that command in command prompt.]]> Fri, 22 Mar 2019 10:30:03 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10406&PID=61625&title=z390-taichi-bios-1-80-problems#61625 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10406&PID=61622&title=z390-taichi-bios-1-80-problems#61622 Author: teegale

This may sound stupid but open command prompt in Windows as admin. Type "bcdedit /set useplatformclock false" without the quotations. If that doesn't work try changing the value to true. That's what fixed my BIOS issue with my PC slowing to a crawl on my NVME.]]> Fri, 22 Mar 2019 10:21:29 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10406&PID=61622&title=z390-taichi-bios-1-80-problems#61622 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10406&PID=61621&title=z390-taichi-bios-1-80-problems#61621 Author: teegale

Thanks for the advice. The static on the mic is so bad I have to RMA it.

4.00 BIOS. Apparently, they decided to push another update out 5 days later and skip an entire number.]]> Fri, 22 Mar 2019 10:18:39 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10406&PID=61621&title=z390-taichi-bios-1-80-problems#61621 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10406&PID=61617&title=z390-taichi-bios-1-80-problems#61617 Author: Abula

1.Update Intel Microcode
2.Update "Ln2 Overclocking Preset" function]]> Mon, 18 Mar 2019 12:06:31 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10406&PID=61516&title=z390-taichi-bios-1-80-problems#61516 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10406&PID=61323&title=z390-taichi-bios-1-80-problems#61323 Author: marjohn56

Good you have it sorted. The added delay is because the BIOS interrogates the drives, and with spinners they do need to spin up.

Set BIOS to AHCI and UEFI only. If they are sammy NVMEs then make sure you install the sammy drivers after initial W10 install. So that does ask the question - are the NVMEs Samsung or other? As I started this thread I was having a lot of issues, but not anymore - all working very well.

Thanks for the reply. Because of you i gave it another shot, seems i have some peculiarities.

1) The ssd was not Samsung, was a ADATA X8200, and it was running fine, but seems like it died (i need to test in another pc still), but this was one of the issues.

2) I was using a shingle 8tb for storage, and not sure why, but it adds a ton of time not only to boot to bios (around 28 sec) and also loading windows takes at least 20 sec more. I tested with only a 970pro, and i boot to bios in 9sec, if i add a Sata SSD like 850pro the boot don't increase its 9-10sec to bios, then i tested with 3tb WD red, and still adds time to booting to bios, around 15 sec total, not so bad, although i do find it interesting that even though its not booting from either of the mechanical, its still adding time to booting. I'm seriously considering adding a storage ssd to the build, but for sure it will be Sata, as in my testing there was no penalty for booting bios/windows.

After a day testing outside, i finally decided to use the board, i assemble on the case and been running great for a day now, no issues.

Thanks again for your reply.]]> Tue, 05 Mar 2019 02:54:47 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10406&PID=61176&title=z390-taichi-bios-1-80-problems#61176
