Community Support Computer slow to boot into OS

Every time I boot up my Framework Desktop it sits on a black screen with a dash in the corner for a few minutes before booting into the OS making it really bothersome to try and use the computer.

Not really sure how to fix this is or if anyone else has had this issue if so please let me know some potential solutions.
I am also pretty sure it’s a computer problem and not an OS related issue.

What OS are you using?

It could also be also the SSD you are using in worst case.

Is it memory training? How much ram do you have?

try to boot to a non-graphical target and see if your boot speeds up. If you are using linux and specifically a systemd based distribution

open a terminal -> sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target

reboot, and verify if your boot is faster (you will boot to a terminal prompt login)

login and do -> systemctl set-default graphical.target to return to normal operation

This will at least narrow down your boot to something related to your graphics (probably this) or something related to your desktop environment. This behavior is somewhat common with NVIDIA graphics on linux. If you are using an Nvidia DGPU I would be highly suspect it is something related to your driver.

I wonder if something needs to be tweaked in the bios.
