Hello guys,

first off: english isnt my native language. But I try do do my best...


Following Problem startet 2 days ago (after 5 super smooth days of working):

When starting the Pc the AsRock Picture is about 5 minutes on display. After These 5 minutes the Windows Picture apears and I have to wait another 5 minutes before Password entering.
Sometimes the screem remains black after the AsRock Picture.

After that, the System works fine.

My hardware:
1920x @ Stock @ watercooled @ 42°idle @ 55°prime95(nonAVX)
32gb Trident Z (Samsung Bdie) @3200 quadchannel@14,14,14
R390 Powercolor PCS+
850W Corsair HXi
X399 Asrock Taichi
250 SSD BX300 SATA (Windows)
500gb 970 evo M.2 (Working space)
2Tb WD blue
3Tb Seagate idk


What I've already tested:

- removing all hhds
- Bios Reset
- 5 Minutes cut off from power supply
- trying RAM@auto (2133mhz), only 1x8gb installed
- switching the 1x8gb in other ports and trying different storage
- Checked every power connector
- BIOSFlash from 3.20 to 3.30

Nothing helped.

The BIOS is very laggy and reacts with 2 seconds delay.
The DEBUGG display shows A0 and A2 for about 20 seconds. This is when I started to think its a mainboard problem.

I disconected every SATA device so no bootable medium was connected.
Still the same slow response/start.

Finally I deactivated the SATA controller (ADVANCED\AMD CBS\FCH COMMON OPTIONS \SATA CONFIGURATION Options). This was finally helping. The bios became imideatly smooth.

A following BIOS-reset and Reconnecting the windodws SSD now ran properly.
But yesterday evening I did a restart and it was slow again.

Do you guys have any ideas?
