My cpu strong mang

4.8ghz lmk

when its unplugged it powers on fine. It doesnt hinder my actual startup time. I load usually at into windows at 9secs.

But not getting power for almost 2 secs .......adding the new hdd created the issue ...theres go to be a reason for this.

tried reformatting
It is not the primary boot drive, just for storage.
Dont know what it is.....

whats your bios settings?

as in?

can you be more specific?

Maybe Ghot will know when he gets on lol

Helped me solved all my other issues in the past.

Try a new sata cable if possible. May be a bad grounding on that wire.

swapped ....same.

both hdds are running off the same one as well.


in case that makes a diff

Well really one last thing I could think of...

Unplug the sata cable from the mobo and see if it's still acting the same.

I have a feeling you might just have to start waiting out the extra 2 seconds

there is settings in bios for boot order, fast boot, etc
