    Ive owned my P151EM for a while now and im just wondering if the behaviour on mine is common and/or normal.
    At boot the splash screen for the bios (in my case PWN PCS logo) flashes on screen twice before it moves on (ive updated the bios twice and its been the same on all versions). This is the only laptop or pc ive owned to do this and ive got a feeling the delay between the appearance of the first flash of the splash screen and the second got longer. But im not sure as im not using my laptop as much as id like to and its been a while since i last powered it on so i could be mistaken.
    Any info on this is appreciated.

    Its a bios initiation order thing. Many machines do it and depends on the base bios producer they use.

    ive seen the same double splash screen when crossflashing my machine with the latest p170hm bios/EC for XTU functionality. on my modded p150hm bios the splash screen is only shown once tho.
