Title: GA-Z77X-UD5H - Slow Boot?
Post by: Need_Help_US on February 12, 2013, 06:35:13 pm

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?

Hi,

I have similar problem, same motherboard, it takes longer time to logon than i was experiencing on other PC's, but no so long as you wrote.
And sorry but o not know what to do with that :/

But have another problem, with BIOS, described it here http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,11862.0.html (http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,11862.0.html).
What version of BIOS you flashed ? And flash from windows or from BIOS ?

Thanks

Hi, I confirmed the hotfix is installed, but I do have a custom DPI set at 115%.  interesting, will have to play with settings to see if it impacts the problem.

I have the F14 version of the bios dated 8/22/2012 according to the DMI viewer.

EDIT:  just made a few changes to the DPI size and there was no impact.  Don't think its the DPI size.
