Hi,
I have been having problems with a very slow system boot-up. It seems my system "sits" on the motherboard graphic screen for about 70 - 130 seconds before moving on to the windows 7 start up screen. Then it takes another 25-30 seconds to boot up windows.
I thought I'd address the issue by buying an SSD and doing a clean install of windows on the SSD. There may be the possibility of other failing components, though I cannot confirm this.
However, I cannot seem to enter the BIOS even without the original boot drives plugged in. Nor can I enter BIOS with just the original drive plugged in. I still can start windows...
If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears, I will be contacting customer support for my motherboard tomorrow (Mon. 1/20/2014).
Here's my original setup (without the new SSD):
i5-3570k 3.3Ghz (OC'd to 4.0)
Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H Motherboard
nVidia Geforce GTX 760
8 Gb Ballistix RAM 1633Mhz (2x4) (I'm not 100% sure on exact specs)
Antec High Current Gamer 520W PSU
Coolermaster Hyper 212
The new SSD is a 250 Gb Samsung 840 Evo
