P8P67 Pro + Slow Splash Screen Boot

[chicagohawk]

Just put together a brand new sandy bridge build with the P8P67 Pro, and I've noticed the windows 7 (x64) splash screen hangs for about 10-15 seconds longer than it did on my old build. I'm running an intel x-25 SSD as my boot drive, and a 7200RPM 500GB WD HDD as storage. Same drives, didn't reformat when switching between builds. No hang indications from any programs in windows.

I was curious if anyone else had this issue or has any suggestions? Both drives are running on the intel 6gb/s connectors and I have my asus dvd burner and the e-sata front panel connector both running on the marvell 6gb/s connectors. Running stock settings for SATA in AHCI mode. Tried IDE as well, but it didn't change anything. BIOS v1204. Tried searching for the solution, but all I found were people having extremely long boot times BEFORE it hits the windows splash screen.

I have the new B3 revision p8p67 Pro and get the same problem. When i boot the system it double flashes the Asus bio's screen before it goes to windows. I have tried to move the sata cables for my hard drive from the dark blue marvel sata port as well as the bottom sata ports that are light blue and still get a double post. It makes me hate this board and ASUS. I wish I bought the P67 Gigabyte board instead.

***There is one thing to fix this problem*** in the advanced bio's screen look for the startup screen options. Select to skip the Asus Bio's start up screen and it will make your system boot faster but you will not see that Asus UEFI start up.

Hi ! I had the SAME problem as you have, but I SOLVED THE PROBLEM ! HERE IS THE SOLUTION : I plugged the Sata cables on the mother board from the marvell in to the 6gb/s sata inputs, so I had nothing plugged in to the marvell input connectors on the motherboerd. After this I vent in to the BIOS, and disabled the marvel, and also disabled the motherboard's screen, so I have only white letters on the black screen on start up. I also set the post screen time in the Bios from the default 30-second to 00,-second. In the BIOS I Also changed the bootup order from the DVD drive to the SSD drive, so the SSD drive boots up before the DVD drive. Now my computer boots up 12-SECONDS, and Reboots at 6- SECONDS ! To desable the Marvell made the biggest change on the bootup lenght time ! OH ! I Also disabled the Inter Rapid Storage "bullshit" thecnology. - To do that, go to: START - RUN - Typ in :MSconfiguration. In here, click STARTUP, and desable the bastard IRST! That saved me another 3-4 - seconds on the bootup lenght ! Do the SAME as I did, and you will be SUPRISED how fast your computer can bootup ! Good luck to you !

Hi , I have the asus P8Z68 deluxe. I had similar problems as discussed here, by pc started booting and showed the asus slash screen for about one minute, after that it bootet normaly (showed the splash screen a second time for about 2 seconds) ... everything else runs normally.
The solution after trying basically everything 😛 the mainboard showed the message b4, that means : usb hot plug ... so i unplugged my usb printer HL1430 and everything worked fine ... fast start.
I couldn't find a bios option that disables the usb hot plug, or set the wait time very short though, so my solution is not so great: I just plug the printer in when i actually want to print something 😛

cheers
