GA-Z77X-UP5 TH Windows 8 Restart Time

GA-Z77X-UP5 TH Windows 8 Restart Time
« on: December 07, 2012, 07:29:01 am »
I recently purchased this board for my new build. Everything seems to be working properly except for one issue. If I do a cold shutdown to my computer Windows 8 boots almost instantly. This is what I would expect from my build. If I do a restart from within Windows, it takes a much longer time to boot the system. I am attempting to figure out why this is occurring. I would like my reboot time and my cold boot time to be the same (like they should). Below explains a bit more about what I am trying to say.

EVGA 02G-P4-3664-KR GeForce GTX 660 Ti FTW Signature2
CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB CMZ32GX3M4A1600C9
Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH

GIGABYTE GZ-G2
Intel 520 Series Solid-State Drive 240 GB SSDSC2CW240A3K5
Asus 24xDVD-RW DRW-24B1STA BLACK/BULK

I am currently running bios F12e. This issue also happened on F11. My operating system is Windows 8 (x64) and is installed in uefi mode. The only hard drive currently plugged in is the solid-state drive. I just re-installed the OS tonight so it is a BRAND NEW install. All of the drivers have been updated to the ones available on Gigabyte's website. All your help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
