From: Core2Duo on 29 Jun 2008 02:14 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?.

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. Paul
From: Barry Watzman on 29 Jun 2008 09:11 Disconnect all USB devices other than keyboard and/or mouse if they are usb. It may be trying to boot from a USB device (even a printer, if it has a flash memory card reader).

The system still sits there for 45 secs without any activity. Contrary to your presumption Paul, the video output is *not* "enabled pretty well instantly". It's blank until the 45 secs is up. The monitor even states No Signal during this period. After this time, some messages are displayed but they are hard to read because they appear and disappear so quickly. The actual boot phase, once it's begun, only takes 45 secs. Any ideas?. Btw, I'm using BIOS v605 |
