Sorry for the delayed response...but with the new AMD-based video card I was able to shave a few seconds off the boot time. Now its 28 seconds from hitting the button to Windows login screen. Its about 11 seconds from first power to get to the ASrock screen.

Updating my post: I decided to pull the trigger and buy a new modern video card. Being a budget system, I bought a RX-560 which has the AMD GPU for my AMD system. Still not impressive boot times, but there is an improvement. Now, it goes from power on to the ASRock screen at 10 seconds, holds there for 11; then takes around 5 to get to the Windows screen at 27-ish. So its 10 seconds faster. I also turned off the Compatibility setting in the UEFI since I don't need it anymore and just for kicks swapped my RAM modules to A1 & B1 from A2/B2.

I tried selecting Ultra Fast Boot but it does not work - it still took 27 seconds.

I really wonder why some people have very fast booting Ryzen systems & what the difference is. ]]> Tue, 02 Jun 2020 11:37:30 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14172&PID=76065&title=slow-boot-on-new-build#76065 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14172&PID=74628&title=slow-boot-on-new-build#74628 Author: datonyb

yes , also i cant understand how you enabled fast boot with a legacybios

basically the bios needs to load extra files to boot your gpu

Ok, I ran GPU-Z to gather info about it. It lists the BIOS version of the card, and next to that is a box called UEFI which is unchecked. The tooltip says that shows whether the BIOS embeds a UEFI module, if not the system BIOS must run CSM to boot with this card. So it looks like it does not have UEFI.

Would that make a difference in my boot time?]]> Fri, 24 Apr 2020 03:15:04 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14172&PID=74627&title=slow-boot-on-new-build#74627 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14172&PID=74626&title=slow-boot-on-new-build#74626 Author: datonyb

Not sure what you mean. Its a PCI-E graphics card.]]> Fri, 24 Apr 2020 02:33:11 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14172&PID=74625&title=slow-boot-on-new-build#74625 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14172&PID=74624&title=slow-boot-on-new-build#74624 Author: Brucex64

Nope, when I click XMP its the same. Actually there is no XMP profile that I can load in the bios.

So I chose the lowest freq from the list - 2666 - and calculated safe. After entering those #s in the bios, its still the same.

Does it matter that the ram is in the 2nd slot (A2/B2) and not the first?]]> Fri, 24 Apr 2020 02:30:55 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14172&PID=74624&title=slow-boot-on-new-build#74624 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14172&PID=74619&title=slow-boot-on-new-build#74619 Author: datonyb

does it not display when you click R-xmp

then select safe and enter the 2400 mhz but timings from SAFE 2666 (into your bios)

that should be ok

Xaltar wrote: It sounds like the system isn't liking your RAM, long post times (time before the ASRock logo shows up) tend to be because of memory training. Your RAM is Aegis, intel specced RAM. The AMD equivalent (from GSkill) is Fortis. If it's working and not giving you issues you are lucky, a lot of people had no luck trying to get Aegis to work on AM4 at all. You can try using Ryzen Calcualator and manually setting your timings for your RAM, that may help speed up boot times. That said, it won't hurt anything, the system is just taking a bit longer to puzzle out working timings and settings for your RAM on each cold boot. We had a lot of complaints on the forums about POST failures to do with Aegis RAM a while back as it was the cheapest RAM you could get when RAM prices were high. First gen Ryzen didn't like it at all.

I looked at the Ryzen Calculator. It has a box for frequency, but the drop down list starts at 2666. Mine is 2400. So how would I use the calculator? Would I select 2666?

If this ram is not the best for AMD, would I be able to exchange it? I bought it from Newegg. ]]> Fri, 24 Apr 2020 01:31:03 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14172&PID=74617&title=slow-boot-on-new-build#74617
