MSI Tomahawk Max - Really slow POST

eidolon · 4 Aug 2019 at 10:23

I've just built up my new PC and everything is working ok apart from it takes ages to POST, literally over a minute. It just seems to sit there while I watch the "No HDMI source connected screen"

MSI Tomahawk Max motherboard
Ryzen 3600
32GB Crucial Ballistix Sport LT Red 32GB Kit (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200
NVidia 1050Ti GFX card
Corsair MP510 480 GB NVMe
4TB Samsung 860 SSD
4TB WD Black HD
4TB WD Blue HD
650W Seasonic FOCUS Plus Platinum PSU

All I've done in the BIOS is to set optimised defaults, disable all boot devices apart from the NVMe and turned on XMP2. I've tried disconnecting the extra hard drives etc but still the same slow POST
This is my first Ryzen build, is there something obvious that I'm missing?

Already tried bare bones install and yes I’m on the latest BIOS. Still the same

If it is, read the comments, its not just MSI having this problem.

Yep, that’s pretty much the same.

Which slot is the RAM dim installed in on the bare bones config? Is it running at default in the bare bones setup?

2 and 4 as per the manual. Running with optimised default settings.

Gosh that does take a while. If it's any reassurance I don't get that problem on my Tomahawk Max, hopefully they iron it out quickly.

What CPU do you have? What BIOS are you running?
