My specs are
Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z
I7 2600k Processor
Windows 7
Crucial M4 256 SSD
These pictures are of my current BIOS. The first picture are my onboard devices. What I want to know is which ones I can safely turn off that will lead to a faster boot time, or if there are some that I do not need at all turned on.
The second one is my boot screen
For some reason if I select my M4 SSD as my primary boot option windows will not start up, it will just go to a black screen with an underscore blinking in the top left. I have to select Windows boot manager for windows to boot up properly. I do not know if this is ok or not ok or if it can be fixed. I also noticed that I believe my SSD drive is plugged into the Intel Z68 SATA 6.0 GB/S connectors and not the Marvell SATA 6.0 GB connectors. What is the difference between the two? ive done alot of reading and cannot find which one is best for the SSD to be plugged in to. If you could help me on these issues that would be fantastic! thanks guys.
