[SOLVED] Pc all of a sudden taking upwards of 5 minutes to boot/restart

[wilh]

I have a pretty high end system that used to boot up within 5ish seconds, it has a 3900x, 32gb trident z 3600 16, a 2070 super, boot drive is pcie 3.0, and my other drive is also pcie 3.0. I don’t have really anything booting on start anymore as I was trying to fix this. Help?

I had that happen to me a while back after a Windows update. It was most annoying. I tried everything I could Google about it with no success. I gave up. Then after the next Windows update the problem disappeared I was back to my usual fairly speedy bootup. Weird.

Can you get to the bios? Is your boot drive listed in the boot order?

I'm not sure as it may work at the right speed on a different system. You could see what the highest speed you can get it to boot at is. Plus anything over 3200Mhz is technically overclocking the Ryzen memory controller.
