Re: P5E MB slow POST

I have a P5E Motherboard that only *begins* to boot after 45 seconds.

It's fully booted in Vista64 in ~1.5 mins.

Any suggestions on how to eliminate the 45 secs delay?.



To start, enter the BIOS, and set "Full Screen Logo" to [Disabled].
That will allow you to see the BIOS progress messages. Save and
exit. Then tell us what you see. You should see text messages,
first for disk detection on the Southbridge, and then additional
messages for any auxiliary controllers.

I presume, when you push the front power button, that the video output
is enabled pretty well instantly.

You can go into the BIOS, and disable unneeded hardware. And
sometimes that gives the desired speedup at POST. It might even
be something like the BIOS RAM test, that is eating a few seconds.
But when you look at the text on the screen, it might become
more apparent what is going on.
