Question Last time in bios increases over time ?

[inicio015]

I recently ran into an issue related to my latest BIOS time increasing in task manager. For a few days before this, it was always hovering between 7.9 and 8 seconds. However, it recently increased to 12.8. I'm trying to figure out why the BIOS boot time increased when apparently nothing changed regarding the BIOS. I noticed that when I reset the BIOS to default or enable xmp of my ram, the BIOS time will decrease to the original 7.9 seconds. However, after a few days it increases again. I'd just like to say that it's only a few more seconds until my PC boots up and I don't really care, but I'd like to know what's causing an increase in the BIOS boot time, if anyone has run into something similar, and if it's something What to worry about or if it's nothing at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

Regarding "enable xmp of my ram," - are you saying that XMP is somehow getting disabled and you need to re-enable it?

= = = =

Are you able to enable some form of "verbose" mode during bootup?

Verbose mode forces a display of what the boot is doing (or trying to do) as the boot progresses.

What you would do is watch the boot process when the time is 7.9 - 8.0 seconds and then continue watching during subsequent boots until the time increase occurs.

Hopefully you would see something else that started to happen or perhaps stopped happening.

One other immediate thought: try a new CMOS battery. Just as a matter of elimination....

Thanks for answering

I didn't explain myself well, the xmp does not deactivate itself.

When the system starts after 13 seconds, I have carried out tests and the only thing that makes the system start again quickly is disabling xmp or enabling it manually, I have already tried with other ram memories and the same thing happens.

Well I don't know how to enable a detail in my bios

This motherboard?

[Verify that I did find the applicable manual.]

Read through the manual to get an overall sense about how the motherboard is configured.

Then read through Chapter 2 (BIOS Setup) begining on Page 19.

XMP (Page 22) , CSM (Page 27).

Make notes about regarding the current configuration settings.

If possible, print out Chapter 2 so you can highlight the current configuration settings.

Note that some configuration settings have a dependency on some other configuration setting.

No need to make any immediate changes.

However once you have a greater sense of it all, then disable Fast Boot.

Objective being to see as much as possible during the boot process. Takes a bit longer but may reveal what is happening when the boot time increases.

Read Chapter 2 closely and carefully. Pay attention to fine print and details.

English please.

Excuse me, yes, that is the manual and I have the quick start disabled.

By "quick start" you are refering to "Fast Boot" per Page 26 - correct?

What about CMS and XMP?

About all I can think of the moment is to document the BIOS configuration settings when boot is the faster time and then again when the boot time slows.

Discover what is different.

Correct, fast boot is from page 26, I do not have it enabled.

Ok I understand, the csm is apparently enabled, I see that it only offers compatibility with legacy bios, in the same way I will check the xmp and csm values when it happens again.

Although it seems to me that everything is based on xmp, but oh well
