Recently I've asked for help on building a computer, and kind people from the community helped me alot.
I've bought:
CPU: i5 2400
MBO AsRock Z68 Pro3
RAM: 2x2GB Corsair 9-9-9-24 1600MHz
SSD Corsair Force3 SATA 6GB/s 90GB
Old: VGA Radeon HD 4870
PSU: Corsair 430W
Some midi case, no name
First of all, the system boots up fine and I get to Windows. But it's *how* it boots up.
When I boot up the system, I get nothing (black screen, monitor says no input) for about 6-7 seconds, then screen with memory / MBO data for about a second or less (really fast, can't read the thing properly) with the weird second line that says: "Error! System cannot locate HECI protocol!", and after that I get "Starting Windows" and a few seconds later I'm inside Win. The thing that's bothering me are the first 6-7 seconds when there's nothing happening, and the strange HECI protocol thing. I've tried looking for it but no answer on the internet, and definitely nothing about it in the MBO user manual.
Is there something I can setup in the UEFI BIOS that can result in boot being more normal? There's an option for "Boot Failure Guard", could that be it? I've looked around the BIOS and found nothing similar to HECI protocol or boot protocol... Only thing I've changed is the RAM speed from 1333 to 1600, I've read somewhere that MBO usually doesn't set it up to the right speed, and they were right.
Anyways, any thoughts on the boot? Is that normal or can I do something about it? Thanks in advance.
