Hello Freinds:
I bought the GA-Z77X-UD5H motherboard a while ago and i am happy with it, but the system seems to be booting really slowly. Compared to my old Dell XPS 430 machine, which jumped to the Win7 desktop once I logged in, the new system based on the GA-Z77X-UD5H board takes about 35 seconds from login to show the desktop.
Since my programs are pretty much the same, I'm guessing it might be a hardware setting somewhere. here are my specs:
Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50 GHz 8MB Cache LGA1155, 77W SN 2L215Y07A0714 Batch 3224B220
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H LGA 1155 Motherboard SN 123400020789
VisionTek 900339 Radeon HD 6850 Video Card - 1024MB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 2.0
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plue CPU Cooler
Vantec Multi Memory Internal Card Reader with USB 2.0
Seagate Barracuda 3.5" 1TB 7200 rpm 64 mb cache PN 9BX1A8-574 SN S1D2NFGL
16 GB Dual Channel DDR3 PNY SDRAM at 1067MHz/1333MHz - 4 DIMMs
Windows 7 Professional w/Digital Cable Support, 64-bit
Thermaltake 850 W Smart M850W Power Supply
I ran a boot log and these drivers are failing to load:
Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\drivers\vga.sys
Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\NDProxy.SYS (shows up 4 times)
Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\srv.sys
I thought this might be a mobo problem because I am using a regular video card. I confirmed that the setting is PCI in the BIOS (not Auto), no change.
The NDProxy is a network detection driver, so I disabled the Atheros AR8151 jack that was not being used in Windows, no change.
Not sure on srv.sys is. Some sites indicate it is a USB problem, but I don't have any issues with hardware indicated in the Device Manager
I have updated Windows and the BIOS with the latest versions via the @BIOS tool. Does anyone have ideas?
