Did you have any BOOT problems before upgrading to the 5770 GPU?

Could be a power issue, especially if your PSU is old. The System maybe struggling to BOOT due to the increased power draw.
Can you try a larger PSU?

Have you tried the larger PSU since you updated the BIOS?

I'm new to the forum, this is my first post so hello to all and great site you have here - lots of help and information.

Sorry, I know there hasn't been a post here for ages but I thought it would be the best place. I registered on here because I have been struggling with a similar issue as this topic for some time now. 

I too have the GA-M57SLI-s4 (rev.2.0) and I just replaced my 8800gt with a HD5850 toxic. It now takes about 1 1/2 minutes to get to the bios and I was hoping the fhl bios (I think that's it) will fix this for me.

I've scoured the internet after reading about it on here but I couldn't find it anywhere. I would be eternaly grateful if someone could send it to me please.

Hi,

if you check here: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,7846.msg62167.html#msg62167 you can find a link for the FHm BIOS that is the latest version I know of.

I'm not sure if it will help but it's worth giving it a try.

Thanks for the reply absic, I will try that out and let you know how it went. The wait at the beginning isn't that bad really but it can be frustrating when you're in a rush and it takes more than 3 minutes sometimes to reach the desktop.

EDIT: I've just flashed the bios to fhm version - only 10 -15 seconds to boot now - woo hoo! Thanks loads again and I do hope others with the same problem find the info on your forum.

 ;D
