With a new R9 270 (OEM Card) installed, the boot process is long - approximately 5 minutes
Post/Boot appears to be moving in slow motion, not hanging up on something. For example when it gets to the OS boot selection screen it prints it out very slowly almost one letter at a time. Displays black screen for about a minute before showing mobo's logo.
Have not tried letting it go past that as I was afraid of letting it continue. Is it safe to let it try to boot while behaving so strangely?
Have never seen an issue like this before and don't know what could be causing the slow motion post/boot sequence
Thank you so much for any advice you can offer! Kind of scared to proceed given I am unfamiliar with the issue.

CPU: i5-4690K Haswell
PSU: 450W Antec Basiq

- Bios is updated to most recent version
- When new GPU is installed the same issue exists with onboard video output
- Unplugging the card's 6-pin makes everything function as normal
- Putting old card back in also works as normal
- PSU should be sufficient according to both requirement listings and calculator sites
- Upgrading from 5770 to R9 270
