Hi, 15min for boot is too long. Did you ever try a NetReset (thats how we call this in GY). The last PC I had did also use this 15min, and after the NetReset it works normal! So to do the NetReset: 1. Shut down Your System 2. If availible, switch off the switch behind the PC where the Power Supply is 3. Disconnect the Power Cable 4. With the Powercable beeing disconnected press the Powerswitch on the front panel. and hold it down for 20 seconds. After that, connect your Powercable again and with a little luck, your PC will start as usual.
