ASUS P5LD2 slow bootup ( waits at USB Initialization)

[DaveH]

Hi,

I just purchased a new prebuilt PC and when I boot it up it takes about 1 minute 45 seconds before it hits Vista.

I am using the above motherboard and the bios gets to INITIALIZING USB CONTROLLERSand stays there for a very long time before it continues the rest of the bios checks and then enters Vista at about 1 minute 45 seconds. This is very slow isn't it?

In the bios settings quick boot is enabled, and I have the ASUS Mylogo disabled. This is how I noticed that the bios stops as INITIALIZING USB CONTROLLERS for a very long time before continuing.

Is there any checks I can do in the bios?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Problem solved and by complete accident.

i was in the bios and my wireless keyboard stopped working so I turned the power off from the back of the PC not the front.

Next time I booted it did not hand at the USB POST.

Now how on earth it worked I don't know. Ridiculous. But I am a lot happier.
