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.
