Very slow BIOS & Booting

krome_ninja_ · 24 Dec 2015 at 00:21

Hello, I seem to have started running in to a very slow BIOS, which is unusable. When ever i enter (Eventually) it just keeps freezing making it very hard to navigate. Once in windows there are no problems. Here are my system specs:

i7 6700k (non oc)

Asus Z170-A

Corsair Vengeance 2 x 8GB DDR4 @ 3000MHz

MSI GTX 980TI

I have tried booting with just one stick of RAM to no avail.

I have cleared the CMOS with no results either.

Downgraded the BIOS, as i was already running on the newest version, and that didn't make any differences either.

What would anyone suggest?

Thought I would update. The issue seems to be resolved. I installed a USB hub a few weeks back.. i didn't need to get into the bios until today and noticed the issue, once i removed the hub the bios was functioning perfectly. Bit annoying, but glad its resolved

USB hubs can cause all sorts of issues. I had one which made my system not boot at all.

Yeah it sucks that they have that effect on some systems. Even with messing with settings in the bios I couldn't get it functional. I guess I'll be returning it
