The boot time increased from about 20 to 50 seconds after I have updated the BIOS from 2.00 to 2.10. The new ASRock splash screen can be seen for approximately 20 seconds. I am not aware of any hardware changes or driver updates that could have caused any conflicts. To me it seems that the POST process is slowed down extremely for any reason. I would appreciate any help to resolve this issue. Should I wait for the next BIOS update or downgrade to the old version or reset the CMOS? Best regards, Holger

| Just a short update: With BIOS 2.31 Beta the boot time could be reduced back to 18-20 seconds. It seems that this version has been optimized for my Samsung SSD 950 Pro. Therefore I am totally satisfied now with regard to speed. There is only one strange thing: The M.2 slot with this SSD is still not listed in the BIOS. So there is further room for improvement. |

The beta bios has been made to support specifically the 950 pro. Are you saying it still does not show up anywhere in UEFI? On my Z170 PRO4 board with a bios dated back in November the 950 pro shows up if I enable CSM  ------------- Z170 PRO4 i5 6600 2x8GB Corsair DDR3000 SSD 950 Pro (OS) 850 Evo (data) GTX 960 4GB 2x LCD |
