GPU Slow down!

[Xhights]

I've had this issue for a while now but it has only come to annoy me since I installed my new SSD! The problem that I'm having is that when the GPU (GTX780) is installed, my boot time is significantly increased. Here are some quick figures, from power button press to windows!

Graphics card removed, conected via VGA from motherboard. Boot = 20 seconds

Graphics card inserted, connected via HDMI from graphics card. Boot = 100 seconds (90 on bios screen)

In addition to this Im also unable to access the bios while the graphics card is inserted.

Anybody have any idea why my graphics card is Making my boot time 5 times slower.

Graphics Card - Evga GTX 780 SC w/ACX

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2PV (rev. 2.0)

Try putting in the GPU, then removing the CMOS battery, and letting the BIOS reset. It might have some setting thats causing it to take a while.

 

Either that, or go through the settings.

do you mean resetting the GPU bios??

No, it sounds like an issue with the Motherboard BIOS

With the Graphics card installed removing the COMS battery just caused the PC to black screen after bios screen!

Some boards require a BIOS update for some SSD's.

 

Also make sure its in the proper SATA port. not a 3rd party SATA port. Are you using UEFI boot mode or just legacy?

Did you remember to put the CMOS battery back in? You could also try flashing your BIOS with the latest firmware as well.

It's not the SSD that the problem though, the SSD alone works perfectly, it's when there is also a graphics card that there's a problem. Also im using UEFI.

is it possible that msi afterburner could mess something up in gpu bios?? (Not related to topic)

I don't have that installed, the only GPU related programms I have are the drivers and EVGA Precision! You think EVGA Precision could be affecting it?

you remove the battery when your computer was off right?

I mentioned that it's not related to topic, but i've read some threads that people have many problems with there gpu's after installing these two (msi afterburner and evga precision) software's.

Yeah I did! Booted it back on with the Graphics Card installed and it went to black screen after splash screen!

[Xhights]

Now it's just consistently black screening after the splash screen! Great!

I believe I've fixed it, I performed a bios update and it is performing as it should!

Thank you all for you help!
