@jand1 - Disable secure boot on Security page, see if that changes the delay or not. If it does not, put it back to secure boot enabled, but then change CSM to enabled, and see if that changes things or not.
If neither of those have any effect, flash back to 1.51 and show me same images from that BIOS. You did not include new Boot image above, what do you have Fast Boot set to?

Also, please open device manager and uninstall your second drive (don't remove driver, just uninstall it) Then shut down, remove that drive, and then boot to windows, this way windows gets reset to Disk 0
Then shut down and put back in other drive. Hopefully it will then be Disk 1 instead of windows, this may be causing the issue too.

Sorry! That's the second Boot page attached.

I have tried to disable secure boot, didn't work.
Then secure boot enabled with csm enabled, still slow.

Now I will remove the second nvme. And report back.

* edit - so I have successfully change the OS nvme as 0 drive. Still slow to boot without the second drive. Attached second drive again, still slow. But the storage order is now correct. 0 for the os and 1 for my second storage.

As for the secure boot, to delete the keys, it gives me two options, Restore Factory Keys or Reset To Setup Mode. Which one? @Lost_N_BIOS

To disable secure boot, you may need to delete all keys, then try it (or reboot after key delete, then try it)

ok, so i just went ahead and tried the different things you told me. I went back down to the 1.51 and it was still slow 20 seconds plus.
So I just reset my laptop but keeping the files. updated the drivers and tested the shutting down and bootup. It definitely worked, shutting down takes around a few seconds, and bootup taking around 5-10 seconds.

I then updated my bios to 1.55 original version, again still very quick. now i will be testing updating to your modded bios! Let's see how that goes!

Thank you so much, I hope you didn't mind me jumping ahead and trying those. I didn't do anything that you didn't recommend as I dont want to wreck my laptop lol

I have taken photos of the BIOS of the 1.51 when I downgraded to it so I'll attach those later for yours and others reference.

*Edit - on the modded 1.55. Taking around 8 seconds to bootup on average. I don't know exactly what the issue was but resetting helped. Happy to have a modded bios and no more laggy splash screen lol

I've attached the bios photos for 1.51

Thanks so much!

So, what is that "Reset your laptop" you mentioned, some brand specific disk recovery, or do you mean you just did an in-place windows upgrade (repair) etc?
No, no worries about you trying or doing all that stuff, what you did etc, that's good initiative and best to try everything until it's sorted out. So, sounds like it was something with windows OS, correct?
Did you ever get the windows disk to be disk 0 again? If not, that does not matter, since it wasn't cause of the issue, I'm just curious if it did that on rebuild or not, or other method I mentioned above.

Let me know how it goes once back on 1.55 mod

Hi @Lost_N_BIOS,

It was the in-place windows upgrade. Sorry for replying late a I was testing a few things to really see if everything is as smooth as butter. And it everything seems to be working fine.

The disk enumeration was tricky. When I reset the BIOS or update it with the mod, or roll back to older version, my OS NVME always moves to disk 1. So I thought that maybe I should change the physical connection, so I swapped the 2 nvme around in the motherboard. But still the same thing happens when I reset the bIOS etc.

So I just did what you suggested before, uninstall the additional drive from Disk Manager, shut down PC and removed from motherboard, let OS boot and change the OS drive to 0, and then put the second storage again and it registers as disk 1. Seems ok so far.

But I don't think that that was the issue, speed was the same when the OS was on Disk 1.

It's booting up within 7-8 seconds so everything is good...so far lol.

Thanks for all your help. I hope others who got the same system can benefit.

@jand1 - Great to hear everything is now tested and working smoothly!
Also nice you were able to get windows to disk 0, I don't know how important that is to the boot delay issue you were having, but that was my first thought to fix before the OS in-place update.
You're welcome, anytime you have BIOS stuff you need edited let me know!

Do you know what? I sent a reply but it didn't send. I think i keep pressing te 'preview' button and thinking it was the send button. lol

Anyways, the disk enumeratioin was a weird one. Every time I reset BIOS settings or update it a newer version(1.55) or downgrade it (1.51) or update on the modded BIOS you made, it kept moving my OS storage as disk 1. So I thought maybe the physical attachment on the motherboard is what was causing it. So, I swapped my 2 nvme around. But the gues what?! the same thing happened. So in the end , I just did what you told me before. Uninstall the second storage on the Device Manager, and boot with only the OS nvme attached and that changed it to Disk 0, and then I reattached the second nvme storage again and it was put as disk 1.

Anyways, I don't think this was the issue because I also tested the bootup speed while the OS storage was set to Disk 1 and the speed was the same 7-8 seconds.

I hope that this will help some people who got the same system from PC Specialist - the only thing I don't like about this is the GamingCenter app which controls the lightings of the rgb strip and keyboard and power profiles. Looks tacky and really doesn't compare with the ones I had with Asus, Gigabyte, Razr, but I guess this is a small company so it cant compete with the big boys.

ANyways, I will definitely keep you in mind if I or anyone I know needs help with BIOS stuff. My profession is Web development and graphic design so shouldn't need any more things done on the BIOS. hehe

Thank you so much again @Lost_N_BIOS !!!!

I have an OP GK7CN6S BIOS v.1.04 (shipped with v1.03) I downloaded the v1.08 @Lost_N_BIOS provided in the guide since the OP site is not exactly up to date, curious though when running F.Bat in an administrative prompt I get the following:

" WARNING !!
The ROM file information does not match with the system BIOS!
If forcedly update BIOS, it may destroy the System BIOS!
We strongly do not suggest to flash the BIOS!"

I haven't proceeded past that point as I am a bit unsure. I did do a search on the forums for anyone having a similar problem and came up with zilch. It is odd because updating to v1.04 from v1.03 gave me zero warnings of this type.

Hello, do you Have the mech 17 1660ti Stock Bios?
By: Eluctroniks

Hey thanks for making such a well collected guide. I believe I have the same issue as "bladerelic" on page 22; my BIOS shortcut keys don't seem to be letting me access the BIOS. Also tried booting it through the Windows 10 options, as you suggested we google search up.

My system is the "CyberPower NB-408-109 - GJ5CN6E >> BIOS_N.1.04".

I followed all the steps, just seems this may be my only issue.
I shared the link to my modded BIOS in the event this isn't something I can just fix myself.
I appreciate any help you provide.

I can't post links until I have 5 posts. Can I pm you the tinyupload link? I didn't see a designated Spam section of the forums.

@Vic20 - Sounds like you are trying to flash an incorrect model BIOS - Ohh wait, never mind, that is standard info given for that batch file. I checked 1.04 batch, it says exact same thing, so you must have forgot it showed you this when you flashed to 1.04

@wsjbw - What is the tonfang model name? I don't think I have the Eluktronics package, but I believe they have all BIOS on their site, since I have a ton of their stock BIOS packages

@Alwaysasbefore - You're welcome, and thank you too! try removing your hard drive, that should let you into the BIOS
If you need to post a link, break it >> www. tinyupload . com
I think maybe he flashed in a bad mod BIOS, so it's possible yours was bad too?

@Lost_N_BIOS
That gave me a good chuckle lol.

Could it have been that it defaulted to save it as a .rom file instead of .bin?

edit: apparently it let me post it without 5 post count.

Hello, Tongfang GK7CP6S.

@Alwaysasbefore - bin/rom = same/same - What is the above file? If it is your mod BIOS, you need to send both original FPT dump and your mod file from that FPT dump. Please put both in single max compressed zip Yes, I think you only need one good post and then you can PM and send links.
About bladerelic issue on page #22, that is all I can think of to be the cause, as you can see my replies, he flashed in some unknown BIOS, not one I made him, possibly not one for his system etc - unsure.
But, once I sent him mod BIOS he did not reply back, so assume all was fixed right then

@wsjbw _ I only have the Mechrevo Stock GK7CP6S package. Why do you need the Eluk one? If you just need mod BIOS, send me your FPT dump created AFTER you've disabled BIOS/SMI lock.
