Slow Boot on New Build

datonyb wrote: THE BIOS FOR THE GRAPHICS CARD LATER IS UEFI EARLY IS LEGACY BIOS

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?

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.

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. I don't know how some people's are almost instant.
