Hi,
Just upgraded my gfx card from a nvidia 560 gtx to a nvidia 670, and my PC is taking like 1 minute to boot now, any idea how I can fix this? It used to be like 15 seconds..
Specs:
Windows 8 Pro 64bit
i5 3570K @ 4.4ghz
nvidia 670
8GB RAM 1600mhz
samsung 840 SSD 256gb
seagate barracuda 500gb
650w ocz PSU
Z77 D3H motherboard
Tried:
remove the old gfx drivers last night, using driver sweeper, cleaned the registry etc, but it hanged on post [where you see your motherboards bios logo and what keys to press etc] for the first time with the new card in, downloaded the gfx drivers for it and it still hangs on post after install.
Tried playing a couple of games that are on my SSD and on my HDD and performance is perfect.
Loaded up samsung SSD magician and 'optmized' the ssd and benchmarked, 550 read 250 write speed.
Tried my USB and PS/2 keyboard, doesn't register keys to get into BIOS, so can't flash it.
Tried unplugging all USB devices and still hanging on post, takes a good minute or 2.
Also checked my C:\ drive with the OS on using error checking and it found none.
Not long reinstalled windows 8 either...
