Computer takes so long to post

[Millz123]

Hey guys... Just wondering how I can improve my post time. It seems unusually long. Like about 15-20 seconds after power is switched on to post. Is this normal or is there a way to speed it up somehow.

Specs
I5 2500k @ 4.4
Radeon 7990
850 Watt corsair rm850 i
Mobo: msi p67 g43
Win 10
Ssd : Samsung 850 evo 500gb
1 Tb hdd 7200 rpm

Try unplugging the system, pressing the power button for three seconds to drain any remaining power, then opening up the chassis and removing the CMOS battery from the motherboard. After 30 seconds, put it back in, put the side panel back on, plug the system in again, and turn it on. Please reply with results.

Please note that removing the CMOS battery will clear any custom BIOS settings, meaning that anything you changed in BIOS will go back to its factory settings.

Any chance I need to update the bios on the motherboard? I never have since I got the machine in 2011.

Are you sure that it's not this board (the MSI P67A-G43)? https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/P67AG43_B3.html#hero-overview

That's the only relevant result when I search MSI P67 G43.

If that's your board, there was a newer version of the BIOS released in 2013. https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/P67AG43_B3.html#down-bios
