Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

I am sorry but I don't understand the question. Probably just a language problem. Can you expand on it a bit please?

Well I am rerally not sure what would cause this but I would suggest trying to clear the CMOS and then load BIOS Optimised Defaults.

Remove the power cable from the mains supply and then press the power switch on the case for a few seconds just to drain any residual energy in the PSU capacitors.

Once done remove the motherboard battery for at least ten minutes before replacing it.
 
Next plug back into the mains supply and boot.
 
You will now need to enter the BIOS by pressing DEL and load Opimised BIOS Defaults.

Make any other changes to the BIOS settings to suit your self and then press F10 to save and exit.

Perhaps if you list all your hardware we might have a better insight into what is happening.

Did you disable onboard graphics if MoBo has any onboard that is, maybe some confusion as to what to load up at start.

This motherboard doesn't come with onboard graphics anyway.

Have you disabled the floppy drive in the BIOS and made the HDD the Primary Boot Device?

Also flash the BIOS with the latest update available. Use QFlash though not @BIOS.

Do you mean it is slow to boot up or it runs slowly once booted ?

If you mean slow to boot up, how long does the whole process from power on to desktop take?

This problem only started after the installation of the graphics card ?

Can you reinstate the old GPU you were using and see if the problem goes away ?

What graphics card did you have in there before this one ?
