    Hello,

    I have a P650SE and most of the times it takes very long to load the bios.
    Sometimes it loads intently but most of them it would take more than a minute before going to the boot loader.

    I've read in the thread " http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/review-clevo-p650se-sagernp8651.775093/" that it may be the slot but I've moved it to the slot near the battery and the problem persists.
    I can't really use the slot near to the fans because my ssd is the biggest one.

    Make sure there are no external USB devices connected to the laptop on boot (except maybe a USB mouse). Some USB flash drives or input devices will cause a delay when POST is happening.

    I have nothing connected and I'm pretty sure it happens before POST since the display is still off. Not gray or black but off.

    I'm using a Samsung EVO 850 M.2.

    Also, I have added two other memories and it is now with 32gbs. Both modules I've added are exactly the same model as the ones that came with the laptop.

    Would it be too much to ask if you made a video? That way we can tell you if that is normal time for that model or not.

    Are you able to reflash your BIOS and EC firmware? Depending on your version, an update might be available - and might (I stress "might") help.

    Otherwise, it could be a device that is causing a test in POST to delay the boot process.
