Hi-
Im working on a new build with the following specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
MOBO: Asus P8P67 PRO (REV 3.0)
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
HEATSINK: Zalman Performa Cpu Cooler
VIDEO: NVidia GeForce GTX 460
SSD: Intel 320 Series 80 GB SATA 3.0
HDD: [4x] Samsung F3 500GB [RAID 10: Capacity: 1TB]
DVD: ASUS 24X DVD-RW
PSU: SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3
CASE: COOLER MASTER Storm Scout
So far all is well, but there seems to be an odd boot sequence happening when I power up the machine:

[it takes a few seconds for the video to start]
The sequence appears to be as follows:
GPU has its own bios
then asus bios logo
then a pci-e error stating no drives found [??]
asus bios logo again
another pci-e no hard disk is detected error
asus logo once again
raid controller showing all four drives raided and the ssd in working order
asus bios logo one last time..
windows starts
now.. ive installed win7 and major apps on the ssd, and raided the four hdds in a raid10 array. I installed win7 with on the ssd initially with the hdds disconnected to ensure the cleanest install possible.
What bugs me is windows takes like 6 seconds to boot once it starts loading. Is there anyway to expedite the bootup process?
Thanks for any info.
