Hello,

After completing the upgrade of my PC, I did a format and I encountered the following problem:
When I start my PC, it takes too much time on BIOS (around 11-15 seconds)

My upgrades (manufacturers' links):
Boot HD: 1T HDD changed to a Samsung PRO 840 128GB
GPU: MSI R6770 changed to a Gigabyte GTX760 x3windforce 2GB overclocked
PSU: no-firm 550W changed to a Corsair CS750M (750W)

Further information:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
HDD is my storage (secondary) hard drive in my system
SSD current status: 60GB/119GB

Description of the problem:
I start the PC, it takes 10-15seconds to get out of the starting graphics of my gigabyte motherboard, then I see the CLI underscore in blank black screen (I haven't experienced it in previous formats - that takes around 1-1.5 second) and after that everything seems normal (windows 7 loading screen etc)

Thank you in advance

I solve the problem, but I'm still sure how I fixed it, lol! I unplugged one by one all the components I upgraded to identify what was going wrong and I found that my new GPU was the cause. So, I followed the following steps:

1. unplugged the GPU
2. updated the BIOS
3. enabled AHCI
4. plugged in tthe GPU
5. problem solved
