GA 990XA UD3 rev.1.0 Loading operating system
« on: November 17, 2011, 09:47:43 pm »
Hi gigabytes :)

Problem occured.
My pc : amd phenom x4 955be
motherboard gigabyte ga990xa ud3
xfx core edition 450w
maxtor 160 gb hdd sata
2x corsair venegance 1600mhz
windows 7 64bit ultimate

Ok.The problem is that after the post screen i see that annoying black screen and it says "Loading operating system". It stays like that for 5-6 seconds and then loads the windows.My pc has restart time about 4 minutes. I thought thats because of hdd,so i tested new one,and it is still like that,tried different versions of windows,problem remains. Its not so annoying that restart time,its that loading operating system.

I tried to flash bios to a newer version with @bios,and flashed it to F9,but no progress.Then i flashed the bios with qflash,i thougt that that may help.My motherboard came with F5 bios.After the flashing with f9,i tried with bios F6,and F8,nothing. I changed my PSU,everything stays the same.I found on google that some users had similar problems,so i tried to change boot priority,disabled other boot devices in bios,only enable hdd,thats the curent state.

Does anyone have something i didnt tried yet ? How to get rid of "Loading operating system" ?

Thanks for any help.

That XFX 450 watt PSU isnt to great for what you have. Id get a bigger PSU possiably a single rail with 40 amps or more on the 12v rail.

The short answer is no, you can't remove this part of the BOOT process.

It does seem a bit pointless and I have always commented on the amount of time it takes AMD systems to go through the POST/BOOT phase when starting up.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

Hi scarfacevk,

If the problem, is in Windows ....

Have you make a visit on Administrative Tools, Services (of Windows)
Maybe you have possibility to stop service if not necessary.

Have use a soft for clean a Registry Base, defrag a Hard Disk?

Hi Gloup_Gloup,

this problem is not really a problem. There are no settings in Windows or any OS, that I am aware of to stop this showing.

I am not sure if this is due to the BIOS or to the AMD Chipsets but it has been happening on the 8 series as well as the 9 series boards and, unlike the Intel boards, there is no quick BOOT Option.

Hi absic, ;)

Okay, I remember a ''Error Loading Operating System'' in Win XP, same on 7 exist...

So now is Loading Operating System... is not same... pfiew...  :P

But I persisted in my suggestion for accelarate a processus of starting Windows...

So i suggest add :
unplug front USB drives from the header or anyting mobile drive like CF card, External USB Hard Disk...if the OS is not in this devices.
Remove Floppy Disk and Floppy Disk Drive... etc.

Did you set windows up via UEFI? Do you have your sata set to IDE or AHCI? Try that and see if it helps

Hi  scarfacevk,  ;)

If before the hard disk operate with IDE mode, initialy when you install Windows...
and after you modify it, by changed mode in Bios, like a AHCI...
is normal then computer system not recognize HDD...

So remember how you set HDD in Bios, and modify parameters in Bios.

EDIT01:
Check your HDD priority in BIOS.

Ive noticed that on some 990xa boards in bios,have one menu that i dont have "advanced bios features" menu. Could I somehow have that menu ? Maybe there is some option that could help me ?

Sometimes features come and go depending on the version of BIOS that you happen to have loaded at the time. If you are missing a particular entry or section even try updating to the newer version and hopefully it will be reinstated there.
