My computer was really slow to post the desktop.
Below are the steps I took to solve the problem.

•Core-i5 3570K (HD4000 driver build 8.15.10.2712)
•GIGABYTE Z77X-UD5H Wi-Fi (BIOS F8)(cloning HDMI to TV and DVI to Monitor)
•Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Sp1
•No flags in Device Manager & all Gigabyte drivers updated from manufacturer website


Troubleshoot
•   Installed lates Video driver  – still slow
•   Uninstall video driver & software – still slow
•   Force safe mode to test - fast
•   Use msconfig to kill services and startup items - still slow
•   Uninstall all motherboard branded software – faster
•   Reinstall graphic software and driver – still faster
•   Reload services and startup programs – almost instant desktop
Uninstalled:
•   Wi-Fi Share
•   Easy Tune6
•   @BIOS
•   3D Power
•   On/Off Charge

From what I can tell that is all the software I removed but I might have missed one or two.
I just removed any software that was Gigabyte branded in remove programs. All other Mobo software seems to cause no issues with load time.
I have not tested to see which program was causing the problem.
