Hello, I'm having issues with long boot times on Windows 10.
I bought an SSD couple months back, worked like a charm, but a couple of weeks ago I've been getting these really long boot times. I checked every single thing that is to check, I think.
Yesterday I even clean installed windows, and still the same. I reset BIOS to default settings, same. Updated drivers and nothing. I've been getting like 30+ BIOS time, sometimes even like 55 seconds.
I uploaded a video so you can see in detail what I mean. I press power button and the waiting starts, then I hear a sound that a fan just started, and as soon as it starts, spinning dots appear. It's just when I press the power button or restart or resume from hibernation, I have to wait like crazy until I hear the fan start. In the video @0:32 you can hear that sound.
My SSD is in a caddy, so I took out HDD and put SSD in it's place, to see if it's caddy's problem, but no, still the same.
I've been Googling like crazy, but can't find the solution to this.
Hopefully someone here has an idea/solution.

Specs:
Intel i3-5005U
8GB RAM
128GB SSD
1TB HDD
Windows 10 Pro

I know it's BIOS time, I just don't know what causing such a long BIOS time.
Like I said, I took out the HDD, just had SSD connected.
It don't know how it can be faulty RAM because I have to sticks of it. One that came with the mobo and the other one that I bought. 2x4gb. I'm sure I couldn't even boot windows at all if the RAM wasn't working properly.

I just did that, still the same.
First boot: Last BIOS time 62 seconds
Second boot: 50 seconds

When I press the power button or restart, that LED that's supposed to be blinking, which indicates disk usage I think, it's not blinking at first until that sound starts and fans start to spin.

I did something first. Went to BIOS to check something and noticed that boot order is incorrect. I don't even know how can this change, when I already put it in the right order. For some reason, Windows Boot Manager('SSD') was first, second was my HDD, but the SSD itself wasn't listed, so I just disabled second boot order and now it starts normally. Showing 6 seconds.
I don't know how can boot order simply change like that.

Anyway, thanks for your help man, hopefully this won't happen again :)
