NEW GPU making boot time very long.

btrulez · Oct 30, 2013

Hello! I recently upgraded my graphics card from an Radeon 6850 to an GeForce 760. After finishing the upgrade I notice whenever I boot up my computer it would be stuck on the GIGABYTE motherboard screen (the screen where it tells you F12 to BIOS, Del to select where to boot from, etc.) for more then a minute before moving on to the windows screen. I have tried putting back the old GPU ( 6850) and it doesn't seem to experience this problem i am having. Does anyone know a fix? This isn't THAT big of a problem, the graphics card works fine and all but the long boot up time gets annoying whenever i restart/start my computer. I have tried reinstalling windows, Formatting my drives and it doesn't seem to do the trick. ;/

I am using an GIGABYTE H77 motherboard, 8GB Corsair Ram, Corsair 650W PSU, an i5 CPU, Kingston HyperX 3k SSD & an Western Digital 500GB harddrive. Windows is installed in the SSD.

Again, I have tried putting back the old gpu and it works perfectly fine.

Please help!

OS is Windows 7

You are properly removing the AMD drivers when installing the GTX?

well i recently clean installed windows 7 + only installed the nvidia drivers and the problem still exists.

Then it is not driver conflict, fast boot enabled in BIOS?

btrulez · Oct 30, 2013

there's no fast boot option for this gigabyte model

Well then I do not know what it is but you should be able to disable the logo in BIOS so it posts and then you will see where it is hanging during BIOS initialization.

i have tried disabling it. it's basically the same thing except that there's no logo screen but a screen with the red logo and a bunch of texts which i am assuming is my parts (sorry i don't know what it's called)

rolli59 · Oct 30, 2013

The text is what you need to be looking at, it is the bios checking the hardware and since it is taking this long to boot it will hang on something so what is will stay there for a long time is causing it.

I don't remember the exact words but i'm 99% sure it doesn't tell me what the cause is for the slow boot.

rolli59 · Oct 30, 2013

I did not say that! There is not a BIG MESSAGE ON YOUR MONITOR I AM TAKING THIS LONG TO BOOT BECAUSE you will have to figure it out from the boot sequence! It checks memory while it is doing that it is displayed as text! Does that take a long time? It Initializes VGA BIOS it displays as text does that take a long time? It checks drives displayed as text and so on. That is how you find out what it is!
One of those steps is going to take extra long and is the cause for the slow boot.

Sorry, I was mistaken there isn't any text just shows the black screen with the red logo like this http://i.imgur.com/fm3y6Tf.jpg

What is the exact name of your board? There must be a way to see the post messages.

GIGABYTE H77-DS3H

So you have done this?
"Full Screen LOGO Show
Allows you to determine whether to display the GIGABYTE Logo at system startup.
Disabled
skips the
GIGABYTE Logo when the system starts up. (Default: Enabled)"
And there is no sub-menu to display post.

Thanks for your hard work rolli59 but I have finally found a way to fix it with 2 words; UPDATE BIOS.

By updating BIOS via GIGABYTE's Q-Flash it gave me an option to enable Fast Boot or Super Fast Boot. By enabling it it finally doesn't get stuck on the logo screen and goes straight to windows.

Thanks for all your hard work rolli59

rolli59 · Oct 30, 2013

So the new BIOS has fast boot option but the older one does not? GIGABYTE! Nothing about it in the manual either.
