P5W DH Deluxe - C2D 6600, 2GB Crucial DDR2-800, GFX 7600GS, 2x300GB Seagate SATA 7200.9 in RAID1 and 1x750GB (Seagate) on 3rd SATA port (JMICRON not in use), Bios version is 1503. Using FDD (non-USB). Not overclocking yet - only bumped up the memory voltage to make the memory run at rated speed
Problem is that during post, it waits about 10-15 seconds after "initializing USB devices" and before it detects the USB devices. (it works fine after that). I have a Dell 24" monitor and I removed it's USB connector from the PC - brought it down to just the KB/Mouse connected to the rear USB ports (I'm not using the "wake-up" ports) - didn't make a difference at all.
This issue has cropped up earlier on this board (and on ASUS's support forum) - I read them (hope I didn't miss any), but didn't get an answer that worked for me, so I thought I'd ask here.
Some other users have been able to get POST faster by using PS2 I/O devices, (for others, that didn't make a difference either). I don't have that option.
Any suggestions or pointers?
Thanks!
