Same motherboard?

If not, that is why.

Otherwise, fresh installs are slow until everything gets sorted. I always restart 3 times when testing boot speed. 3rd is usually the fastest.

Same everything except what I mentioned. I've installed the chipset drivers, the gpu drivers and restarted a couple more times and it's still almost 10 seconds slower. 60 seconds it is taking, and only have 1 storage device hooked up too.

I can probably tweak it down, but I think it should definitely be faster to begin with.

EDIT: diagnostic mode takes 76 seconds to load less stuff....hmmmmm??

re-EDIT: selective with the 2 startup items removed got me 45 seconds........hmmmmmm

Now I tried ticking noGUIboot and disabling services and it added 30 seconds to my time.
