Towards the end of last year I installed a new graphics card (Asus Nvidia Geforce GTX 760) and also a power supply to match (XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX), since this upgrade my computer has began to freeze on the boot screen where it shows the makers of the computer, Advent in my case, and also the CPU manufacturer which is Intel. This freeze lasts on this screen for approx 90 seconds and when those 90 seconds are over I am then able to sign into Windows.

I have tried accessing the BIOS by pressing the key but all I get after the 90 seconds are up is a blank screen which is when I will have to restart my computer. I am worried because of this as previously it would only be on the boot screen for about 30 seconds.

There was a CD that was included with my graphics card and I have installed it, since December I don't feel like there has been any problems with the graphics card but I am unsure as to why it freezes on the boot screen.

sorry for the late reply..

best course of action now is to update the BIOS.... this may be an "off chance" because you only upgraded the gpu and psu, there should not be any other issue.. but just to make sure before we diagnose the components.

8GB of RAM
1TB hard drive space
Intel core i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00 GHz (4 CPUs)
and the others are mentioned above.

I won't be able to look inside of my PC until later on today, but I know that I have an Advent DT1411.

ok, from the download link you gave..

download and install the chipset and OSD drivers, then check the results..

then, if you still have the norton antivirus software, remove that with the removal tool.

check for results

then install microsoft security

then, malwarebytes

then check for results..

norton is nefarious on messing up with your system to buy their subscription.

just think of the logic.. you need to download a removal tool to uninstall their application.

also the microsoft supplied antivirus is much better because you use their OS.
malwarebytes is just to remove other things.
