PC takes long to POST after shutdown

[zacmar]

Hello,

I received my new PC a couple days ago from PC Specialist (yay!) and while using it I noticed that every time I shut it down it takes a long time to boot up (finish the POST procedure essentially) when I switch it on again. In specific, it's powered up but there's about a 30-second wait until it beeps and boots up to bring the BIOS screen waiting for a prompt. Once it's past that it boots into Windows really fast, I only have an SSD loaded in the machine.

Sometimes it can take longer at which point I have to shut it down. This doesn't occur when restarting the machine through Windows etc, only when doing a clean shutdown. Otherwise, once the system boots up everything runs fine as far as I can tell, I did some gaming yesterday for quite some time and there were no issues.

Are there any usual culprits for this kind of situation? I would appreciate any help before calling support.

Do you have an X99 motherboard by any chance? If so then do not worry as this is normal as the motherboards have so many different features that they take time to go through and verify them all.
Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about this

Yes indeed, it's an ROG STRIX x99. Does it really take that long every time? Is it somehow configurable through the boot menu out of curiosity (i.e. by disabling some startup checks)
