z97 Q-code 64 slow boot.

[Tensor187x]

When I power my computer it hangs at a black screen with Q-code 64 on my mobo for a good 30 seconds, then my computer boots. In the manual it says code 64 is "cpu dxe initialization." Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help!

reseat the cpu and put more thermal paste between the hsf and cpu. if that still doesn't cut it RMA the CPU.

I tried that! However I just figured out what it was. It was my corsair link cable. Unplugged it and it fixed it! Thanks for your help though, very much appreciated.
