I have an ASRock > Fatal1ty 970 Performance with a BIOS from 2016 and for the last while it has been slow to boot.
Not really slow but noticeable.
I notice it displays the first two lines display:
Copyright (C) 2012 American Megatrends, Inc.
BIOS Date: 01/13/2016 17:18:35

The lower right displays:
99

After a noticeable delay, it displays:
970 Performance UEFI P1.30
CPU:AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor
Total Memory: 32768MB

Press F2 or DEL to run Setup.
...

I've also seen 99, B4, A2, 99 in the lower right.

I haven't changed any of the hardware.
What do the numbers mean?
