MSI M Power board POST screen time

[gaoxing84]

Just to check, anyone with m power boards get or experience a long boot up before post screen with msi m power boards.

It took at least 5-10 seconds process between the time after I press the power on button to the post screen that show the m power logo. I am on uefi and legacy boot.
Previously on asrock board is faster though.

And when in the process of going into post, there's a number 9c on the bottom which indicate the debug number.

Anyway, on my friend's z78-g45 gaming board, the time to power on button and post screen is less than 5 seconds.

Both are on ssd as first boot.

Ya. You using m power or gaming board?

I think they board need time to post and it's abit too long.

I think it is not only limited to the MSI board, my boot time is average 20-25s before I can see the Windows Desktop even with a 240GB SSD.

 

[gaoxing84]

Really ah? Maybe that happens to all z78 boards? When I am asrock b75 , took only less than 5 seconds before I see the post screen and another 5-10 seconds before I see windows desktop.

Maybe there are more things to check during POST for my board? I really do not know.

Or maybe the delay is due to the on-board graphics output display as now a days there are up to 3 different types of on-board graphics display output on a board to scan compare to perhaps a P67 chipset or earlier as there is at most 2 or no on-board graphics display output to scan before it goes to the discrete graphics card? I really do not know but POST time and boot time is not a concern for me as I am more concern about my data accessing time after boot to Windows.

Just my opinion, I maybe wrong about it...

It depends on board manufacturer. Usually the usual checking are post, CPU, ram, GPU (if any).

My Asus board take slightly longer. I can see the led lights on board traveling to check on each components.

Msi slightly faster as they display on screen.

Asrock has a faster post time.

Some boards take longer than the rest as it is still checking on all other components.

 

[gaoxing84]

asrock is the fastest I seen compared to msi. Haha. next time I go time it. Haha. See the got led running on my board anot. Haha

 

[gaoxing84]

Hope msi bios has a fix for it

That one normal. Usually for boards with LED debugging will show a few codes.

MSI do not have that so they post it on screen instead.
