Gigabyte GA-N650SLI-DS4 Question

untitledltd · 09-17-2007, 10:30 PM

Hello all, first of all sorry for my crappy english

When I turn on my computer I can see the startup screen, the one with the S-series logo(full screen logo) and its options (POST Screen,BIOS Setup/Dual BIOS,XpressRecovery2,Boot Menu,Qflash) or post screen if press TAB key, but if I restart my computer there is no startup (or post) screen only the windows XP splash screen nevertheless if I press the <del> key I can enter the bios.

I wonder if it is normal for this motherboard that when the system is restart the startup or post screen does not appear, or maybe it just boot too fast???

You may have a feature in BIOS that Enables/Disables Quick Boot, Set this to Enable if you wish to see the memory tests, etc. It may be that it just flashes up quick and you're unable to see it.

Thanx Solman, but I can´t find any option in the bios related to Quick Boot, any other idea?

Disable the Full Screen LOGO in the Advanced BIOS Features section. When you do a warm boot (reboot) the computer won't do a full POST like when you do a cold boot.
