Hello!

I own an ASUS P8P67 Deluxe and it seems to take about 8-10 seconds before I see any sign of video (monitor receiving a signal) or activity when I boot. After this delay the BIOS takes a couple of seconds to POST and then my computer boots normally. I've attempted to Google the issue but haven't found anything concrete. Is this normal? I wouldn't have guessed a UEFI motherboard would have a longer boot time than the last board I owned with a legacy BIOS.

Things I've tried so far:

  • Disabling all onboard devices, the splash screen, USB 3.0 support etc.
  • Removing all but one stick of RAM, disconnecting all of my drives + my keyboard and mouse.
  • Updating the BIOS, clearing the CMOS, restoring default settings.

My system:

ASUS P8P67 Deluxe (3rd Gen)

Corsair TX650 Power Supply

Intel i5-2500K 3.3GHz

4x2GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1600MHz

GeForce GTX 680 2GB

Crucial M4 128GB SSD

I'm just about out of ideas and I'm hoping someone here owns the same board so we can compare times.

Thanks in advance!

      Putin was behind Farage/Brexit and behind Trump/MAGA. Different idiot lying beasts, same fascist master. Same screwed up results for both nations.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet by Ivan Jenic The Amazon Echo Show 11 is currently $149.99 on Amazon during Prime Day, down from $219.99. That's 32% off and $70 saved on Amazon's newest mid-size smart display (purchase link below). As its name suggests, the Echo Show 11 features a 11” Full-HD touchscreen, which is a decent upgrade over the Echo Show 8. It offers 60% more viewing area, which makes a genuine difference for recipes, calendars, video calls, or any other scenario where the smaller display can feel a bit cramped. The Show 11 is built around Alexa+, Amazon's more capable AI assistant that can handle natural conversation. You can make reservations, order groceries, and find content based on your preferences, instead of always having to give it precise commands. There’s also the Omnisense technology, which adds ambient awareness, allowing the device to trigger routines based on temperature, presence detection, or visual cues. Smart home control is built in without needing a separate hub, and the home screen doubles as a photo slideshow when not in use. Taking all of this into account, the Show 11 is a perfect smart addition to your kitchen counter or living room. At $149.99, this is a strong Prime Day buy for anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem or looking to build one out.
