MSI Z170A Gaming M5 mobo.
I have the CPU and RAM OC'd to 4.55GHz/3236MHz
Everything is stable.
My question is, why does it take so long to boot?
I've got a 950 Pro 512GB M.2 in there. The Samsung Magician software posts incredibly high speeds on the SSD. 215% on UserBenchmark.
Here's what happens... Power button engaged. Everything spins up, monitor identifies signal, maybe 4 or 5 seconds later POST screen appears.
There's maybe 3 seconds there and it goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top right. It blinks 3 or 4 times in the top right then "Returns" as if you hit the enter key for a new paragraph. Then it blinks on this second line for about 15 or 20 seconds. Just sitting there blinking.
THEN it gets the Windows 10 symbol front and center. Black screen, blue logo, you know. It displays the logo for about 2.5-4 seconds THEN starts the winding wheel beneath it. That will turn and rotate for a good 10 or 12 seconds before finally going black for 2 seconds or so and FINALLY giving me the welcome screen to login.
Granted, everything after this point is like being shot out of a cannon. The desktop loads and all systray items load in 1.5 seconds or less.
The startup process, though, is grueling. It probably takes a full minute or more to boot! This is the fastest SSD on the planet! What am I doing wrong here?
I've experimented with MSI Fast Boot but there's no way I want that hideous black box popping up in my systray on every boot. It didn't help with the speed all that much either, if any.
My boot devices are ALL disabled outside of the SSD.
My theory lies in the identification of the SSD. It appears in the boot list as "Hard Disk: N1 950...etc" Why would it be labeled a hard disk?
Could this be something to do with the order in which devices are enabled during POST? Like PCI devices don't engage until after so and so?
Anybody got any ideas?
