I've cleared the bios, swapped another set of ram but it still takes forever to get to Windows.

Any thoughts?

Update - the boot issues are at 52 - Memory Testing and 75 - USB initialization

Should I reflash my bios?
Update - reflashed the bios to the official 14. Still slow boot-up. Flashed it to the beta bios 16b03, still same problem.

Again, it just takes forever to process 52 - Memory Test and 75 - Detect IDE.

Anybody have any thoughts? It was working fine and fast in the beginning. It's also fine when it gets into Windows.
