Motherboard is taking over 2 mins to boot from hard drive?

[Meatslush]

I just bought a MSI 970A-G43 motherboard from newegg and I got it installed and everything is fine accept it takes at least 2 mins before it will boot from the hard disk. Even when it is set as the first boot priority. The MSI screen will flash up on the screen and then i just get a little flashing dos line for 2 mins before it finally starts booting windows. Anyone have any suggestions or explanations for this?

Try clearing CMOS and leaving it on defaults.

Try unplugging all USB devices.

Figured it out. One of the non booting hard drives took a shit and was causing the conflict. MSI still rocks. :wub: Thanks for possibly helping me.

Turn off the MSI logo screen (Full Screen Logo Display), and you may see what it is holding things up. Is LAN Boot ROM enabled? Have you tried enabling Fast Boot?

Edit: glad you figured it out!

Thanks for the tips! :thumbsup: I feel dumb figuring it out right after posting though:\ I'm glad it was an older hard drive and not an issue with the board itself.
