Re: GA-X58A-UD3R very slow to the BIOS screen
So...I did move my DVD drive to a different Sata connection and then flashed bios to f6b and also streamlined the msconfig a bit (there's proly a few items I could still uncheck on that). The result is that it's 17 secs to the bios screen, 13 more to get to "Starting Windows" and then I get full boot 30 seconds after that. Total time is 60 seconds. Not bad considering it was 80 seconds. I haven't done any registry tweaks, but I am overclocking (i7 930 @ 3.66 Ghz Stress Tested). I don't have many programs on this rig yet, but I do run Norton 2010, so that is probably slowing down the boot times a bit. I haven't seen the shutdown error lately...maybe the f6b is helping on that front as well. I had to go through all the settings again, so maybe I enabled some different stuff this time and I have the magic combination.
