I was on a trip for 2 weeks and returned and only thing different I did was change out my mouse and keyboard with a Logitech G600 MMO mouse and Razor Deathstalker.

Now when I turn it on it gets stuck on the motherboard splash screen. It will stay there and sometimes when I hit F12 or Delete key it will complete POST and I will be able to log into Windows 7 and do whatever I want. When I restart my PC or turn it on in the morning I have to go through the same process.

Usually rebooting a few times until I am able to get F12 or delete to get it past the motherboard splash screen.

If anyone has any troubleshooting tips to help me fix this issue that be awesome. Thanks all. If you need more info let me know.

I tried resetting the CMOS via the battery and that hasn't solved the issue. I also noticed now on Firefox that it telling me when I try to check my Gmail that it's an "Untrusted Connection".

Just an update.

One method I have been using to get past the splash screen is this.

1. turn off PC and hit the switch on the power supply to turn that off
2. click the PC power button to make sure all power in PC is gone
3. turn everything back on and when it gets to the motherboard splash screen I hit F12 and it completes POST.

Everything seems to work fine and also I got rid of the "Untrusted Connection" issue. So now its just finding out why it can't just complete POST like it did before my trip. Usually only took 10 seconds give or take in order to complete POST.
