I am running an i5_6600k (stock), on a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 motherboard, with 16GB of GSkill RAM, boot drive is a 250GB EVO 850, and I have a 1TB WD Black drive installed for storage. My OS is Win 10 Professional 64 bit. After my initial build, boot times, from cold start and from sleep as well as on reset, were quite fast (say 5 - 10 seconds to login screen). A few days ago, I installed a second storage drive, a 2TB seagate HDD that was previously in my NAS. I formatted the drive after install and assigned it as drive "E" in disk management. I also installed a EVGA GTX 1070. I uninstalled Intel graphics drivers and installed EVGA drivers and disabled integrated graphics as well as made sure PCI/E 1 is priority in BIOS
So, after adding this hardware, I have noticed a significantly notable increase in boot times, as much as 5x as long, particularly on reset. I have tried researching what this could be, to no avail. I rolled back UEFI to the profile I had set prior to installing this hardware, and this did not change anything (even though I did not change settings, I saved a 2nd profile once I installed just to have a capture of it before and after). I also double checked boot priority in UEFI, and the SSD is set as #1, and the WD Black is #2, just like before the installation.
Any thoughts on what to try?
