Hi! I am currently using a BS450M DS3H Motherboard with a Ryzen 5 2600 Processor.

I didn't do much in this week but i suddenly realized that my computer takes around 5 minutes to boot up and shut down.

What i noticed before all these happened was that my mouse's RGB will still work even though my pc is being shut off.

right now it doesn't and when i do start turning the computer on, I see the fan connected to the motherboard starts turning off and on while it tries to POST.

nothing was changed in the BIOS Menu and i tried almost everything i see online already. Please help!

Things i did:
  1. AHCI instead of RAID
  2. Load optimize defaults for BIOS
  3. Change new RAM
  4. Take out HDD to test if its faulty
  5. Clearing all startup programs when windows is turned on
  6. Unplug all peripherals
  7. Resetting my CMOS by taking the battery out.

  4. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
  5. Type verbosestatus, and then press ENTER.
  6. Double-click the new key that you created, type
    1 in the Value data box, and then click
    OK.
  7. Quit Registry Editor.

It sounds like there may be a short in the motherboard. If your computer is fully off and your RGB on your mouse is still on, then power is still going out from the Motherboard.

as far as the fan spinning up and down during post, that is actually normal, you just usually wouldn’t see it happening. Your motherboard will only supply power to the fans to keep the case cool, once cool it shuts them off.

One way to find out if it’s the MoBo, is to take it to a local IT repair shop and have them test the board. They should have the equipment to do so and shouldn’t take them long. Only other option would be to send it off to the manufacturer to have them test and repair if need be.

It seems now that my MoBo is fine now. When I turn off my computer, the RGB from my mouse is still working. But when I try to turn it on or shut down, it still takes 5 minutes. When Posting, the RGB goes off though. I tried clicking on my mouse, the RBG will turn on for a second. Is there a way to fix this?

what are your full system spects?
What hdd/ssds do you have installed? What location/port are they installed to?

MoBo: B450 DS3H
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Ram: 8GB x2 Vengance LPX DDR 3600 MHz (but i only use at 3200MHz at that is what my processor can only do)
PSU: 530W
GPU: Palit 1060 3GB
i have 2 ssd. 1 for boot another for games. 1 HDD for storage. thats pretty much it

Are there any signs at all that the CPU is properly scaling to up to 3500-3800 MHz or so, or, could a simple lack of/or botched chipset drivers due to a WIndows update be possible?)

it seems likely that it could be something like this but i dont really know how to check it out regarding windows update.

If you have a HDD, and not a ssd, it will take considerably longer to do a clean boot.
To speed things up, implement fast boot in the bios.
It copies a simple image of the last successful boot to a sequential file that can be read much faster than individually loading windows components.

I have two suggestions.

  1. Use a ssd for your windows C drive. 240gb at least.
  2. In the mean time, instead of shutting down, use sleep to ram(no hibernate)

Remove the SSD that has your games on it and see if that fixes the boot up time. If not, then remove and reseat all cables from the Windows SSD and try again. If you're using m.2 ssds, then just try reseating the Windows SSDD. either way, remove the games SSD for time being to test out the boot.

If I do fast boot, will I not be able to access my bios at the start?

I'm using SATA cable ssds so no m.2. I tried taking everything out but it still does not work. Shutting down and booting up still takes more than 4-5 mins and only thing I realise when I boot, whenever I click my mouse the RGB responds but immediately disappears. It happens for around 3-4 mins, after that, the cooling fan connected to my cpu will shut down for 5 secs and restarts again. That's where all the lights will start functioning and I will know it will boot up any second

You set up fast boot in your bios.
Once you do, a power on will bypass the bios screen, load the last successful boot image from a file to start windows.
If you want to get into the bios, you must do a complete shut down.
That means accessing the recovery options in windows.
A shortcut is to hold down the shift key while you press the power off option.

Delays in startup can sometimes be because the bios does not like something in ram and is trying to find a ram setting that works.
Your symptoms match that.
To test ram
Run memtest86.
It boots from a usb stick and does not use windows.
You can download the free edition here:
https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm

If you can run a full pass with NO errors, your ram should be ok.

I tried downloading memtest86 on a thumbdrive but all it says to reboot and use a boot device. But I dont think my ram is the issue as at first I thought it was and I bought 2 new sticks.

I tried running fast boot but it still is still doing the same thing..

What is happening!!!

You do NOT want fast boot if you want to select a different boot device.
Did you buy a matched kit of ram?
What is the make/model of your motherboard and the ram you are using?
You should be able to change the boot device.
Some motherboards allow this by pressing f12 during power on.

Yes I did do that. Before I tried enabling safeboot.
What I tried as an alternative was windows memory diagnostic tool and it shows there is no problems. My mobo is b450m ds3h and ram sticks are in a set and its vengance lpx 3600mhz but I made it 3200mhz as that's what my processor can handle

The motherboard only supports 2666 memory, but can support higher when using XMP. So try turning that off and leaving all settings as is. Also, try restoring defaults in bios and see what happens. The final thing you could try is setting the RAM to 2666MHz and see. The final thing you can look at is verify that the P/N for the RAM is on the compatibility list for the Motherboard:

yup i checked. its CMK16GX4M2Z3600C18 for my RAM and its compatible. i did try turning it off and trying but it was the same issue. before i switched to this RAM, i was using just a standard 2666mhz ram and it still has the same boot up issue...
