System start is slowed down

crtecha · Apr 21, 2009

So we both are having RAM issues possibly?

BradleyKZN · Apr 21, 2009

Crtecha, does the Motherboard have a backup bios?

Hayder_Master · Apr 21, 2009

did try contact gigabyte support (gigabyte GTS)

crtecha · Apr 21, 2009

Wait a minute my board wont even boot with my Phenom if I dont have the f6 bios.. I may be mistaken but you should be having issues if your not using f6 right now.

BradleyKZN · Apr 21, 2009

Its might be the dual bios kicking in guys.

crtecha · Apr 21, 2009

I just posted in a tweak town forum for gigabyte tech support. Ill report as soon as I get a response.

BradleyKZN · Apr 21, 2009

Im convinced this is the motherboard checking to see if the first bios works ok, then everything appears to switch on and off and back on again, and thats when the screen comes on. But it does seem a very long wait. Mate of mine thought his psu was shorting all the time thanks to that :laugh:

Take the board battery out for a good 10 minutes and put it back in. It does that for me when I have an unstable OC.

It has dual bios. Now I dont know if you flash them if it keeps the stock bios as a back up or if it changes those too.

BradleyKZN · Apr 21, 2009

Ok here is my theory, I dont have much knowledge of dual bios! Ok whats happened is that somehow you flashed both of your bios somehow and hence could only boot with the F6 bios, your backup couldn't kick in because it was also a bad bios. Now with the OP, he either flashed the first bios badly and the PC is taking a while to detect that and use the second bios (Which it can do because it still has the backup bios which is ok), or its normal for it too take so long, but other people with that board should be able to tell you there experiences.

If I have got something mixed up along the way please let me know!

WojtasRed, does your motherboard have a backup bios, in case you mess up an overclock or something?

Yes, this MoBo has Dual Bios. There`s also option: LOAD FAIL-SAFE DEFAULTS, I tried it but it doesn`t change anything, still get this problem.

crtecha · Apr 21, 2009

try reflashing to f6 and report back.

WojtasRed · Apr 21, 2009

I`m using F6. And when I try F4 and F5, still get this problem.

BradleyKZN · Apr 21, 2009

Ok so maybe then there is nothing wrong apart from the fact that it takes too long?? Maybe you can change the time to detect correct bios option or something if there is one?? Maybe Fail Safe Defaults makes it take a little longer??

WojtasRed · Apr 21, 2009

There`s new option in BIOS F6:

Maybe it has sth common with PCIE?

Done!

BradleyKZN · Apr 21, 2009

Unless im mistaken, there is a thread for these boards somewhere here. Check that maybe?

BradleyKZN · Apr 21, 2009

I think try changing that bios option to sw switch and let us know.

WojtasRed · Apr 22, 2009

crtecha
Any news?

crtecha · Apr 22, 2009

Hey brotha sorry for the delay. I went home and actually ran into a huge mess. My BIOS had been reverted back to F4 due to me messing up OC'n. Soo I had to reflash back to F6 and I left all the BIOS settings to default at first and I had no issues took about 3 secs to see the first post screen. I disabled any ports that I dont use firewire,serial.lpt ect. That didnt change anything in the aspect of posting but it did shave a tad bit off my over all boot time.

It still sounds hard drive to me, boot sector errors, have you run scandisk on starup?

Im pretty sure its not your HDD, but try disconnecting your HDDs and then turn it on, you computer will still post without them, so do that and youll know if its your HDD or not
