Very long boot-up

[Littlelaner]

I recently bought a new graphics card, installed what I thought were to be the right drivers and got along on my merry way and started  playing games in resolutions and frame rates entirely new to me, it was great. I put my computer to sleep when going to bed, then came back to check something, wiggled the mouse and it took about a minute for anything to happen. It went through startup process instead of just windows login and confused me. I then restarted my computer for an update and this morning it again took a minute or two. I don't think that this issue is due to me having an HDD and not an SSD, but who knows. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue? Also let me know if I can easily find out if I have all the drivers I need, pretty sure I have them but always nice to double check.

What OS? Do you still have the installation media and key?

What updates did you do (KB# would be preferred)?

What GPU did you use before and now? 

Did you run a chkdsk through cmd?

I think I have a similar issue to yours. When I boot up my computer, it takes a good 3 minutes to boot windows 10 after POST. I've been kinda ignoring this by grabbing a drink or something lol

Running Win10

I used to have a Radeon r7 270

Downloaded "GPUTweak2-Ver1360_20160817"

Did not run dskchk, will do that now. 

Not sure what you meant with KB#, I went to Asus page and downloaded latest drivers. 

EDIT: Ran dskchk and no errors were found.

Try disabling fast boot from Windows' power saving options in the control panel. I also noticed a suddle slow-down in both wake-up and shut down after the Anniversary Update, eventho I have an SSD, but as I understood you've had this problem since before.

Nope, just installed the card last night and problem happened right after that.

Have you tried purging the video drivers? http://bit.ly/1s4GrBD

Tried to overclock and pushed to hard and system crashed, booted up after that, then did restart and problem seems to have been fixed.. Although for some reason my computer recognizes the 1070 as a 4096mb card..

Well, that last part is not good news.
Still, being that you changed graphics card, I would completely uninstall the drivers with that tool and reinstall them...

Went into asus OC tool, card read as 8gb of ddr5 ram so thats good. deleted all of my old radeon drivers manually, am I in the clear now?

As long as the games and applications are able to use all 8 GBs, you're good to go. I would try with the memory burner 8GB of MSI Kombustor, to be 100% sure of success.

I have absolutely no clue what that is.

Google will help ya out on what MSI Kombustor. Also, for future reference, KB articles are "Knowledge Base articles" which Windows uses to classify updates. You can find them by searching "installed updates" through the start menu search bar within Windows.

Ahh thanks.

[Tusk2435]

Haha It's basically a benchmarking / burn-in program; the memory burner is one of the many benchmarks you can run, and it tests if all of your 8GBs of VRAM are actually usable. I would recommend you (even if you didn't OC) to run one of those stress tests to see if the system is stable, but I wouldn't consider it necessary if you don't want to do it.
