Hi, so as the title says i am getting a black screen appear after the bios startup but the pc does eventually boot and get to the log-on screen.


I have tried removing all usb's,
Safe mode.
Re-installed GPU drivers.
Disabled PCI setting in power options
Disabled fast startup,
Tried a startup recovery.
Tried Malwarebytes Full scan,
Tried Panda antivirus full scan,
Tried Windows SFC with no problems found,

Cpu : AMD A10 APU
GPU : RX480

The above are all fixes for a "black screen of death" which is not quite what this is as i eventually can log on. There is just a long time between the BIOS and the log-in I cant find anything about this anywhere. Please Help

unplug any HDD's not needed for boot. (If, like me, you have your profile and other startup apps on a second drive you may not be able to.) See if it is a particular drive that might be causing it.

Have you done a chkdsk /r on all the Drives?

Are all the BIOS and firmwares up to date?

Removed my secondary HDD and it started up fine, would never have thought the secondary drive would effect the boot time, but thanks for the quick help :)

:) Old School thinking...

Any device on the system affects every other device. The system has to query all attached devices on startup to take an "accounting / inventory"

Any hardware not responding in a "normal/timely manner" will adversely affect the whole system.
