Slow BIOS booting
I have the following USB devices attached:
- Belkin n52te
- Logitech Driving Force Pro
- Logitech G9
- TactX keyboard
When starting from a cold boot, it takes 59 seconds to get through the BIOS to the boot menu (F12).
From that point, Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium takes 1:44 to get to the login screen.
This seems like a very long time. Almost 3 minutes total from cold boot.
I listed the USB devices in case one of these is causing extra delay. It takes 45 seconds from cold boot for the Driving Force Pro wheel to self-calibrate.
Is this normal, even with 2x 10K rpm drives in RAID 0?
Is there a way to turn off "memory testing" or anything else that is causing extra time? I've tried hitting ESC during the BIOS to skip any memory test, but it doesn't change. I also turned off my RAID OptionRom to shave a couple of seconds.
