DELL Precision 5510 POST Time

Hi there,

I have a Precision 5510 that I have had for a while and it suddenly became slow it has been in this state for 2 months and I'm struggling on how to fix it. The problem is the laptop takes so long to post, it takes 5 minutes until it gets to the Dell logo then another 5 minutes to open up the BIOS or load into my operating system. I updated the DELL BIOS to the latest version (1.17) and it is still doing the same thing. I don't know if I had a BIOS corruption but my warranty already expired so I need help with this issue.

    By any chance do you have an HDD? I would run diagnostics (F12 immediately at boot) and watch for any drive problems. Other than that run an antivirus scan just in case the system is infected. If none of that helps open task manager and disable everything on the startup tab except items that need to be open such as audio or Intel app that needs to be there on startup. If that helps then one by one re-enable items until the slow boot comes back.

    Hello,

    My DELL Precision 5510 is having a very slow POST time. I have factory reset the laptop many times with a USB and I still get the same post time. 

     

    On task manager, it says Last BIOS time: 261.8 seconds
