Slow on startup. Stays on motherboard screen for 1-2 minutes

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Hey Everyone, 

 

I recently just upgraded my computer by replacing a 1gb graphics card (Sorry but I don't know the manufacturer) to the GTX 950 (Model # GV-N950OC-2GD)

and a new 700w power supply (even though I don't see how a new psu affects performance)

 

Now when I turn on my computer it just sits at the motherboard splash screen (the one that allows you to go into the bios) for a complete 1-2 minutes. But once it boots windows 10 it is completely fixed as its not frozen anymore and it boots fast.The problems started the first time I tried to turn it on after I put the new gpu in, not a couple days later. I want to say it's not the boot drive because the computer has been running fine for 2 months after I installed the new gpu. 

 

And the idea of going into the bios and resetting it cannot be done because whenever I'm stuck on the splash screen I am unable to access the bios. I spam the delete key but nothing happens... Help?! 

 

Does anyone know of this problem and how to fix it?

 

PC Specs:

- Intel Core i5 3470

- Nividia GTX 950

- 16gb (2x8gb) g.skill 1333 ddr3

- 500gb seagate barricuda boot drive

- Main Display - Benq V400W

- Second Display - Samsung 2243bw

 

Thankyou,

Go into the bios and turn off diagnostic boot. If you have an option for a "fast boot" enable this.

 

Diagnostic boots are great for extreme over-clocks, troubleshooting and first time setup. Other than this, just disable it.

 

Edit: not sure how I missed that big text. Check all your power connectors and re-seat the new card. If you have a dual BIOS board, try running on the other bios.

when i get an issue with not able to enter UEFI, i'll remove a stick of RAM

(powered off of course) and reboot. this will force the POST to error and F1 to

enter setup. the log will differ from last known good POST and prompt this.

then you should be able to navigate the UEFI to reset UEFI to default settings

save and reboot. once completed, then shut down and reinstall RAM module

removed earlier (will reprompt F1 to enter setup).

Thanks for the response people.

 

Wombo - I have a dual bios motherboard. How do you access the second one?

 

Airdeano - I just installed the new set of 16gb ram yesterday but the problem was still occurring for months before with only 1 stick of 4gb of ram. Will it still force it into setup like you said?
