Asus MB, takes a long time before showing the "Loading Asus Express Gate" message

Hello,

recently I've noticed that my computer takes around 15s or more, before showing the "Loading Asus Express Gate", beeping and starting to do all the BIOS loading.

I've disabled the Asus Logo, but there's nothing to see. The screen remains black before the "Loading Asus Express Gate" message.

Any ideas on what might be going on?

Thanks in advance.

Usually videocards with memory problems may do this.
If you have integrated video or another video- try it.

Will do, thank you.

I've a 3 monitors setup, so I'm using both a regular card and an integrated one. I'll try disabling either one and then the other and see what happens.

Well, you were completely right. It's the PCIe card. It runs fine tho, minus the delay.

What can I expect? Will it burn to ashes in a couple months?

Thank you again!

Possible artifacts, but it is fixable (in service center).
