Cold boot? My computer doesn't show even the first BIOS screen in first five seconds.

Yes, cold boot. There were some options in the BIOS (or EFI? I forgot) to skip some things, and to reduce this wait time for the BIOS hotkey.

Same, and Im running AMD Threadripper 3970x, 32gigs of RAM and an nVME. It takes almost 60 seconds to load.

Hmm, that sounds quite a lot longer than I'm used to these days.

I just checked, and I'm 17s from cold boot to Windows 10 login prompt on my Ryzen 2600 desktop with NVMe boot drive. I also checked on one of my 5 year-old HP Zbook G3 (Xeon E3, 64GB RAM, NVMe boot drive), and it was 23s - and that's a corporate machine, loaded with crap.
