ASUS P8P67 LE POSTs too fast?

[Addikt]

So I just built a new rig with this motherboard and I noticed that I cannot even see the POST activity. There is just a long black screen followed by the Windows startup logo. Is anyone else getting this?

you might have Fast/Speed boot enabled, combined with a setting that hides the activity = you cant see anything

when you reboot, press F2/F8/F10/F12/Del (whatever key gets you into the bIOS), and turn that off

Thanks for the advice.

I was messing around with the BIOS settings and it looks like "show BIOS logo" actually means that it shows a customized logo set via the ASUS MyLogo2 utility.

If you disable this, it actually provides you with a time limit between 1 and 10 seconds (or whenver you press esc) to display the POST info, but this adds to the overall boot time. I just chose to disable it, as the POST information is not particularly interesting and I won't be the one using the computer.

Just an odd way to set it up. I haven't purchased anything OTHER than an ASUS board for the past 5 years, and I've never come across this type of setup before.

My monitor takes a second or two to come on after a resolution/mode change. This, combined with my BIOS flipping the display adapter on and off, means I sometimes don't see any of my POST at all.

If you reeeeally need to see what it's doing, you've always got the PAUSE key on your keyboard.

Just got this MoBo and no matter how many times I press "DEL" it won't load into the BIOS. Any suggestions?

Tried F2? Asrock boards require F2, I don't know about Asus.

its del for asus. you can also manually hit the reset cmos and maybe that'll fix it?

Try a different keyboard. It may not be initializing on time. If you've got a USB keyboard plugged into a hub, move it onto one of the root ports on the back panel of the mainboard.

Do not hold onto the del key, spam it.
