I am helping a friend with his computer. He is having a problem once and a while when he boots up when quick boot is enabled.
What happens is that the computer will start to go through POST but will pause before Posting fully and then displaying a Black Page with a white blinking Cursor in the corner.

Now if we Disable Quick Boot options the computer never seems to have that problem. At least that we can tell.

So My question is have any of your heard of this before. Or is it just a coincidence that this is happening and it has nothing to do with the option. I tried looking up an answer and I can't find anything definitive.

Let me know thanks.

enabling quickboot makes the bios bypass certian tests that it would otherise normally perform. the result is self-explanitory - it makes the computer boot up faster.

the screen with the cursor is probably just the bios processing data form the tests or just taking a little extra time to prepare to boot from the OS

He has an almost Identical setup to me. He has EVGA P55 LE and a i5 750@ 3.6 Even has the same Memory. Differences are he has a different PSU Vid card and HDD's and of course HSF and Case. He is running Identical BIOS set up that I am. which mine can be found here....
