I just installed this MB a few days ago. Upon boot it sits on the bios
flash screen for about 1-2 minutes. The system sluggishly continues
the startup process and appears to be stable during operation.

I do not know what I should do to troubleshoot on this MB
to resolve the slow booting when there are no complaints.

Try disabling sata in the bios if you dont have any sata drives.

That can slow the boot down, searching for sata drives if there arent any.

There is only one thing that I have not done and that is changing the
power supply, the user guide suggests that a power supply less than
360W may destable the MB, currently I have a 350W power supply.
Could the slow boot be related to the power supply?

Unlikely.

Any suggestions?

See above.
Either disable the flash screen in BIOS or press Tab key so you can see
where is slow. Enable Fast Boot in BIOS as full memory test can take ages.

Disabled flash screen in BIOS, system appears to be hanging while
detecting IDEs. HDs are formatted. I moved them to another computer,
they are detected immediately and the WDC diagnostic software report no
errors. In addition, I have changed IDE cables on the ASUS MB and no
change.
