[SOLVED] MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX takes a lot of time to get to BIOS

[Boriez]

Hello guys,

Two days ago I installed my new MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX motherboard together with my new processor, the Ryzen 7 3600X. Everything works fine, but it takes a lot of time to get to the BIOS. When I turn my pc on, my keyboard lights up instantly. My screen stays black for ~1 minute, after that my keyboard shuts down and then immediately turns back on. 3 seconds after the keyboard gets turned on, I see the MSI logo to enter BIOS mode. My question is why it takes such a long time to get to the BIOS. I'm hoping you guys can help me out!

A year ago I didn't install windows properly, so also with my previous motherboard I had to manually select the right station to boot it up. If you have a solution for this, other than re-installing windows, I'd be happy to hear it too.

Fresh Windows install with motherboard swap is needed

As Nighthawk says, when you change the motherboard you are supposed to re-install Windows as the existing Windows installation is now invalid as far as the hardware is concerned.

Thank you both for your quick answers, I will do that! I have both a HDD and SSD, obviously I want windows to be installed on my SSD but then I still have to manually select the HDD to boot it from. Is there any way I can let the boot work from my SSD instantly?

Move the SSD to the top of boot order in BIOS after install is complete.

Should NOT be a Windows issue as it's got nothing to do with bios, some MSI boards have a configurable delay built in you may just need to disable the splash screen and adjust that. You can probably verify that by removing all drives
