I'm experiencing extremely slow POST times with my setup. It takes longer to POST than to boot into Arch Linux, which is really inconvenient. I'm using a B650 motherboard with a Ryzen 9 7900X3D and have 32GB of RAM, with Secure Boot enabled. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or how I can fix it?

Just a thought, make sure your boot priority is set correctly. Sometimes the BIOS tries to search for all possible boot sources, even if they're turned off. If the settings are a bit off, it can really slow things down. There's a great video by JayzTwoCents that goes into this issue in depth - check it out!
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into that.
There could be several reasons for a slow POST. How long exactly is it taking? Also, check if your BIOS is set to 'thorough' boot instead of quick. With 32GB of RAM, a thorough POST can take a bit longer than expected.
Interesting point! I had a similar issue once and adjusting the boot priority really helped.
