Graphics slow on startup but fast after reboot

strotto · Jul 30, 2014

I just got a new system (specs below) with the Asus r9 270.
The computer takes much longer to start than reboot, takes a while for the MB screen to show but not much slower once starting windows screen shows.
The computer then is jerky when moving browsers on the screen and games run below 20FPS
If i reboot then everything is fine and the games run at 60+ FPS and there are no problems. I tried updating the BIOS and also updating the drivers for the graphics card even to the new beta 14.7 Catalyst control center

I am running windows 7 64-bit

Any help would be greatly appreciated

No specs.

Do a checkdisk. Do a virus scan.

Similar issue here.

Even mouse movements are slow right and opening of windows dialogs are slow too?
Have not had the patience too try and fix it yet, guess this could be motivation.

i ran the disk check and it showed no issues and its still happening

my specs are

i5-4690
Gigabyte h97m hd3 ASUS Radeon R9 270 DirectCU II 2GB
Corsair CX-600 PSU
Kingston ValueRAM 1600MHz 8GB DDR3
SilverStone Precision PS07 Micro ATX Case
Plextor 120GB SSD

Card nice 'n clean? Blow out your case - especially fans, filters and coolers. Maybe the fans take while to spin up.

What voltage, fan rpm, gpu clock and memory clock are you running it at?

Have you got the latest bios installed in it?

strotto · Aug 2, 2014

The PC is brand new there's no dust in the case, the fans start up straight away so I don't think they are the problem.
All the GPU settings are stock
I updated the bios and drivers to the latest release

Download HWInfo and run Sensors. Post the results - usually 3 screenshots in TnyPic or similar. This'll give us a good idea of how well your hardware is running.

Here are the screenshots from HWinfo, ill do a restart then post the HWinfo when the computer is running well

After reboot

First screen showed your cpu at 5.6GHz on only Vcore of 1.188V. That's impossible seeing that is a plain i5 4690 (non k) cpu. Check again with bios/uefi. Do a bios reset and see if that fixes it.

Your power supply voltages seem OK

Your GPU seems to be running OK. 1.215V is a bit high. Have you overclocked it?

strotto · Aug 7, 2014

i overclocked my GPU but i didnt change the voltage just slightly increased the memory and core speeds
Ill reset the bios and see how it goes

strotto · Aug 13, 2014

I reset the bios with no luck
It takes a lot longer for the motherboard screen and starting windows screen to come up when its laggy

i7Baby · Aug 13, 2014

What motherboard have you got (main screen in hwinfo)? There's something screwy with getting 5600MHz from a non oc intel cpu

strotto · Aug 13, 2014

Gigabye h97m-HD3
I did the HWinfo test again (before a restart) and got normal readings for the CPU

Make sure you got the latest bios for the mobo.

Make sure your SSD is in AHCI mode (in bios) and runs from a sata3 port.

strotto · Aug 24, 2014

I have checked my BIOS and its the latest version, my SSD was in AHCI mode and is connected to a sata3 port

i7Baby · Aug 24, 2014

OK then your hardware is looking OK

Start in Safe Mode (F8) and do a Computer Repair http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode#1TC=windows-7

if that doesn't help, do a Restore to Last Known Good Configuration

Did it solve the Problem? I got the same Problem.

This was done and dusted in August.

Start a new thread.

Hi all,

I haven't see another thread on Tom's hardware with this same problem, so I posted here.
I have the exact same problem. Everything is jerky at first boot, VERY long POST. then a reset (once OS booted) makes the system run normally (most of the time).

Here's my setup :

CPU : Intel Core i7-4790
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H.
Video : XFX Double D R9 270x 2GB
PSU : 600W OCZ ModXStream

Clean Linux Ubuntu 14.10 install with latest Catalyst drivers.

Found another user with the same problem : http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=395738
I've opened a ticket with XFX and Gigabyte.
