Hey everyone,
Like the title says, I'm having an issue with booting my computer.
Here's the background info:
CPU: i7-2600k @ 3.4Ghz
Mobo: MSI Z68A-GD55 (G3)
Mem: 8GB 1600 Corsair Vengeance
HD1: 250GB Samsung 840
HD2: 1TB 7200 Samsung Spinpoint F3
GPU: GeForce GTX 970 4GB
PSU: 750W PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk II
Yesterday I replaced my GPU with a new MSI GTX 970, which is when the problem started happening. Basically, my computer still works fine, even the new GPU is fine once I get past the boot process. However, this process now takes 2-3 minutes instead of 20 seconds. Right after I power on, it hangs on what I'm assuming is POST. All I can see is a hyphen in the top left corner and "B2" in the bottom right corner. This is the screen it stays on for the majority of the 2-3 minutes then it does this weird glitch out screen (with a bunch of strong neon colors like you see in horror movies when the TV broadcast goes out), and then immediately I see the Windows 8.1 logo and my computer works from that point on.
I'm probably going to try to get a replacement battery for my motherboard later on today, but my friend says that it "shouldn't" be a battery problem because my clock still works.
To recap, the only thing I've really changed is install a new GPU. If anyone has any other advice, help is greatly appreciated!
