Why does my Asrock Fatality Z97 Killer motherboard take 3 minutes from power on to showlng Windows start-up logo, then another minute+ to complete the boot up? How can I speed it up? It's driving me mad. Previous motherboards were never this slow and I bought this as it's supposed to be superfast! FYI, am running Windows 7 Pro, Thunder V2 635W CPU.
 
Solution
Hello...1) List all hardware plugged into the MB.
2) Go into your BIO's status screen... and report back your CPU model and speed reported, Ram installed and speed reported.
