System Specs:
CPU - Ryzen 9 3900x
MB - ASUS PRIME X570-P
GPU - ZOTAC GTX970 Reference Card
RAM - Corsair Vengeance RGB x2 16GB Modules, 3200MHz (system defaults them to roughly 2333MHz)
PSU - Corsair VX550W
Drives:
Team Group 240GB SATA SSD ( I don't remember the exact model)
SAMSUNG 180GB SATA SSD (I don't remember the exact model either but it's fairly old)
Seagate 2TB FireCuda SSHD Hybrid
A very old 1TB Hitachi that came from a prebuilt HP system in 2010-2011
Sabrent 500GB Rocket PCIe 4.0 M.2
This is a new install of windows on a new PCIe 4.0 M.2 I purchased a few days ago. Every drive was formatted when I reinstalled.
The problem is that the system takes about 30-40 mins to boot. Each sequence is carried out; the black screen that normally appears shortly before the motherboard logo, then the option to enter bios, then the motherboard logo with the Windows dots circling underneath and eventually the Windows log in screen. Each of these bits takes agonisingly long.
I have a fresh install of windows on a new Sabrent PCIe 4.0 M.2. By fresh I mean that I installed it the day before writing this. Before that reinstall I had it installed on the SATA 240GB Team Group SSD.
After the reinstall yesterday I noticed that windows was asking me to choose which volume I wanted to boot from before windows was reached during the boot sequence. I solved it when I discovered that despite formatting the drive, windows thought that was still a copy of windows to still be booted from on it. Since then the extremely long boot time problem started.
UPDATE: I eventually got to the American Megatrends screen where I pressed F1 to get to the BIOS setup. I found out that it was trying to boot off of either the TeamGroup SATA SSD that used to have windows on it before I formatted it, or an external hardrive that I used to reinstall windows. It doesn't allow me to choose any other drive from those two. After leaving the system for half an hour, it reached windows, everything within Windows works.
This is my first time asking a question here so sorry if my explanation reads badly. If any more information is needed then please let me know, I will be happy to give any more details.
